I was also disappointed to see Stride keep his seat. There are a couple of Tories who lost their seats who I think are more moderate and may have been better leader candidates than some of those who survived. I am not a Tory voter but would rather they were more moderate in their policies just in general - that is where Tories have usually been.
My seat ended up much more marginal than I expected. Incumbent Tory held on but lost most of his majority. Local seats I was also watching both went Labour. One gave me particular pleasure given the nasty things he has said and done that have affected people in my constituency, even though he isn't our MP.
Our incumbent could be worse. Hoping that the loss of his majority will spark him into more action and less complacency about important local issues. Not sure if he will work with the neighbouring Labour folk. Not sure they get along. He did used to work with a previous Labour neighbour, but I guess it's about personal chemistry.
I am so happy to see the greens and libs get seats as well.

I hope that in all this talk of a "changed Labour" that Starmer has the humility to recognise that he won with far fewer votes than Corbyn lost with in 2017 and 2019. A third fewer in fact compares to 2017.
A lot of people who were angry with the way we have been impoverished voted not for Labour, but for Reform, preaumably in the misguided belief that they offered hope of real change as Corbyn did. Starmer failed to acknowledge their desperation and chase instead the Tory vote, which he in the main did not end up getting as Labour's vote share decreased overall.
If he wants people to vote Labour in future not Reform, he needs to recognise why Corbyn was so popular and stop all this nonsense about how he lost the people, because on the numbers, he was far more popular than you Kier.

I just wish they'd stop uc migration

That's a shame Stride still there, hoping he will go. Labour won here.

Perhaps we should remind Labour that even if Reform won 4 million votes, there are what, 7 million disabled people in this country? That's almost twice as many potential voters.

"The shadow work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, said the party would recruit 8,500 more mental health workers and promised that the sickness benefits bill would fall under Labour."
im not opposed to this because any kind of help would be greatly appreciated, but I hope they don't try this one size fits all approach when it comes to MH. MH is very complex and not everyone responds to help the same way.
I guess we will just have to wait and see…
