80 Seat Majority And…
…You have to rely on the Labour Party to save your blushes.
Nearly 100 Tories revolt and do not support their own Government.
Clearly a party deeply divided.
I wonder what the people of Shropshire North are making of tonights shenanigans ?

Thanks Buenchico, that was useful.
I don’t always agree with Kuenssberg’s analysis, but that was spot on.
Since the bye-election was called I considered a 23,000 majority unloseable. But backbench Tory MPs wishing for it to be lost, to give Boris a wake up call kick in the goolies, makes me ponder the LibDems could take the seat.
But it will be close. Less than a thousand votes in it, either way, is my prediction.

jno there is no link in the OP. I have read the link above, it does not say any MPs are hoping to lose the bye election. It says " some Conservatives might be happy to see it lost" - that the opinion of the author and usage of the word "might" indicates that it's a vague speculation at that. It seems RBID is once again evident.
