Been seeing a lot of that sort of thing today. Isn't it because we all expected the Tories to be wiped out, but only Remain voters expected Labour to take an L, whereas the Labour leadership felt fairly confident they'd build on their seats? (I heard Barry Gardiner on LBC last night predicting 'about 400 extra seats!)
So it's a case of the Labour losses being a bit more unexpected ergo newsworthy, esp for a left-leaning paper like the Grauniad, rather than a conspiracy?
True that. Just looked at the Guardian - front, centre, above the fold "Results show voters want a deal on brexit, says Corbyn after Labour suffers heavy losses"
And in small type in the live update "Conservative net losses pass 1100"
