The fact is that Boris, Cummings and Truss are responsible for this loss, some humility in accepting this fact would serve Boris well.

Make no mistake though, a victory built on a 34% of the vote is dangerously misleading, this is no 1997 Blair type victory which was built on solid foundations.

The other thing is that is nearly 62 years old, how much mileage does he have in him and who follows him?

If they follow him with Rayner they will shoot themselves in the foot big time.

Wes Streeting is in a very marginal constituency.

If I was Andy Burnham I’d be looking for a safe seat.

I think there will be a clammer from the Left for Rayner, I reckon the Tories will be praying for that.

A love in with Farage - No but lessons on why Farage achieved a massive number of votes Yes. The Tories failed on illegals coming in and so will Labour unless they take note of why Farage’s party will grow.

Remember Le Pen a few years ago? She’s laughing now! Are the majority of French racist? Of course not but sick of things!
