Here's hoping the RW vote splits so efficiently you get someone better (will Labour and Lib Dems split the rest of the vote, though? Or is one a no-chancer?)

Liz Truss - James Bagge an independent Tory - Reform and Heritage will all split the right wing vote. My entire family has voted tactically (labour for the first time in my life I am a Lib Dem). The BBC is predicting a Liz Truss hold. Let’s hope that they are wrong.

Whoever said it was going to be a blow-out wasn't kidding! Is this because Brexit was such a failure?

It sounds like France is dodging a bullet, as well.

But think of what the Brits had to go through over the past few years to get to the point where Labour had that level of support...hopefully voters will have the patience to allow the new leadership time to clean the Tories' massive mess...
