More than 50 per cent of the vote for Louie French at Old Bexley and Sidcup, so Liz Truss's Thatcherite restorationst coup against Boris Johnson is going to have to wait, while Keir Starmer's Coronation sausage rolls and pineapple chunks have well and truly gone back in the freezer.
"This swing would deliver a hung Parliament and cost the Prime Minister his own seat," is the breathless cry. As if that second part could ever happen in practice. And so much for being 20 points ahead.
Labour at Old Bexley and Sidcup has lost four thousand votes even since 2019, and eight thousand since 2017. As for a hung Parliament, there would have been one of those in the spring of 2022 if Keir Starmer's change to Labour's Brexit policy had not prompted Johnson to call the 2019 Election.
You would be amazing in a hung Parliament.
