imagine watching 14 years of the tories running the country into the ground, and then voting tory again

“No, I do not enjoy being stabbed. …Oh you want to stab me again? Yes please!!”

In Bromley & Biggin Hill it was goddamn close; only a win by a couple hundred.

To be fair, in only one of those London seats did the Tories get a majority of the vote (Harrow East). In most of their remaining London seats, the Tory candidate was elected with a vote share in the mid-30%s.

but the fact tories got a single vote at all is troubling
