Aldus BBCquote:Jeremy Hunt’s victory in Godalming and Ash is an extraordinary vindication of his decision to spend almost the entire election campaign pounding the streets of the constituency.
I cannot overstate the extent to which everyone in Westminster assumed he was a goner.
On the contrary, he is now a hugely significant voice in the debate to come about the future of the Conservative Party.
quote:So far, the Conservatives have lost 173 seats. In 124 of these, the Reform vote was greater than the margin of the Conservatives' defeat.
Of these seats, 99 were won by Labour, 19 by the Lib Dems, two by nationalists, and four by Reform themselves.
Of course, not everybody who voted Reform would have otherwise voted Conservative, but they most certainly voted Conservative in 2019.
