Boris Johnson admits by-election defeats not ‘brilliant’ – but shrugs off potential Tory plot to replace him

  1. Devastating is the word you are looking for, if the nation voted like this in an national election the Tories would come third.

  2. Real ‘3.6 roentgen’ vibes from this: he/his cabinet just have no idea how many people are outright finished with Tories: one of these results was the biggest electoral numbers swing in UK political history.

    Their time is simply over, going into the wilderness for a bit is probably what’s best for everyone

  3. As a pessimist, my fear in thinking the Tories are just so far beyond unelectable in the next GE is that it will kill any potential hopes for PR pact amongst Lab/LibDem/etc.

  4. You lose one seat only after taking it two years ago and you lose another seat in the biggest turnaround in by-election history. Not brilliant is slightly burning your toast, not losing two seats in these sorts of defeats.
