Yay! Good news.
And I know there are qualifiers to the good news, but sod it, two constituencies that previously voted Tory DID NOT do so yesterday & that is GOOD.
Yep, terribly low turnout.
Yep, Tories got more votes than they should have.
Yep, Reform Party got more votes than they should have.
Yep, the Labour Party are not what they should be.
But fuck it. Today, due to an election, there are two fewer Tory MPs in Westminster & that is a WIN.
