The thing about the speech that gets me is he seems to think that Luke Skywalker has turned into a woman somewhere
In context the whole speech is right, but you are correct that the rest of it has been incinerated by a poor paragraph that was taken as a "flaming torch" by the more liberal shouty sorts.
Typical Old Etonian talking about something he talks about but doesn't really understand.He incinerated his good points himself by putting such a moronic claim in. Purely down to him, nobody else.
It would have helped even if the claim fitted the speech theme but it is just a very random and erroneous claim when he could have pursued obvious examples of disadvantage for working class young white males in the North East.
Astonishing gains by the Rejoin EU party. Clearly the tide has turned. 151 adult children made their voice heard.Apologies to the "opposition".............
Low turnout, reduced majority but still a win despite everything else.

I think the drop in majority is as much to do with voter apathy than anything else, heard that there was a turnout in the 30% range, whereas at the GE it was in the 70% range. If the opposition can't rally the voters off their sofas with the background we have now, you have to question how well they are doing themselves.Labour were never going to win that seat, it is as true blue as you can get so the Tories were always going to win. It is the proverbial put a blue rosette on a Pig and it'll win the seat.
Still such a large drop in majority is a real warning from the area to Johnson and his Govt; and will be getting plenty of Tory MPs twitching about their seats with Johnson running the show. Adds more pressure and as Johnson/Govt will no doubt continue to show incompetency and disdain for rules/agreements then more MPs' letters will start to go in for him to go as Tory leader.

Just the mundane mid-term thing according to stats geeks.
Well I can point you to the website I've been reading regarding using regular expressions in pattern matching if you really want to up the dullness levels. It's thrilling stuff...I sincerely hope that's the dullest thing I read today.

Warning them that they would vote tory again at the next general election presumably....the Tory voters being interviewed were clear they weren't voting as a warning shot to Johnson and this Govt

Maybe but the true figure wouldn’t be known unless they had a similar turnout to the electionResponded to above which covers this point. That is still an embarrassing drop for the Johnson/Govt however it is dressed up.
