I listened to a Podcast previewing the elections and it turned out be pretty accurate apart from two things. Firstly, they thought there was no chance of Labour taking Westminster and, second, that predictions of some sort of electoral Armageddon for the Conservatives were wide of the mark - the conclusion was that the “smart money” was on them losing something like 250/300 Councillors.

Well, they’ve lost 398 and, although I presume all of the results are in by now, if that we’re to go up to hit 400 to allow the extent to which they had a bad election more significant, I wonder if that may have consequences for Johnson? If they really have lost a hundred seats more than the so called smart money was expecting, then will those MPs finally find some backbone? I’m not holding my breath.
