As it's difficult to get away from the fact that UKIP handed Bojo a large number of seats by not standing in 2019.Professor Sir John Curtice on 5Live earlier this morning expressed the view that Labour didn't win, the Tories lost and bigtime.
In 2019, Labour got 10,269,051 votes, which was 32.!%.
Thus far, Labour have 9,650,254 votes, which is 33.8%.
I guess what we don't know is to what extent people moved their votes around in a way that largely cancelled out others doing the same, but it's difficult to get away from the view that Reform voters handed Labour a large number of seats.
It's worrying that Farage has effectively been the kingmaker, in the last 2 elections.
