Am seeing the Tories consistently trying to establish the narrative that the only lost seats because Corbyn bribed naive young people with unaffordable gifts like tuition fees, etc.

Labour needs to shut this line down quickly before it becomes widely accepted

Is "people voted for Labour because Labour promised them things they want" an attack?

That used to be the common wisdom, but 2010 changed that as they entered a coalition with the Tories and were considered to have sold out almost every single principle they had.

Probably not. You know how big blue states like California always come in late in the night in US elections? There are a bunch of rural Tory strongholds that have yet to report. Labour's doing amazingly well but it'd be insane if they got a true majority.

Is there a local factor that explains the Canterbury result? Because it sounds insane.

Labour twigged that high student turnout + canterburys reliance on tourism could flip it, some yougov models supported this, and Duffield went balls to the wall reposting tory mockery of student turnout. Some friends got involved, its been well organised and its great to be one of a sub 200 majority

Christ alive, that's enough to beat everyone else combined, doubled. Whatever you say about her on the national stage she must be a hell of an MP for her constituents to get results like that.

Read a story on Twitter about some activists that contacted her last minute for an event and she said she would come but only for a shot while as she had other appointments

Stayed the whole day and had to run for a taxi at the end.

The activists only found out through the papers that the appointment she had to keep was her own wedding.

For all the poo poo she gets she's a hell of a woman.
