Bojo won an overall majority of 80. 80 isn't a Landslide in my opinion, landslides start at 100.
This is a really good point and one I reflexively disagreed with until I had a look at the numbers.
I think it's also a good rebuttal to the idea that Johnson was popular, rather than not being Corbyn and seen as someone who'd crack on and finish Brexit one way or another.

Bojo won an overall majority of 80. 80 isn't a Landslide in my opinion, landslides start at 100. So Starmer isn't overturning a Landslide but a big majority.
Why have the tories managed to destory a very healthy majority in 4 years? I'd start with them having 3 PM who were in various ways completely unsuited to being PM. Starmer isn't special he's mearly competent and honest, but in comparisonto Bojo, truss & sunak they make him look like the son of god!
If Labour get the 100-150 majority which looks possible, they only have to be competent, honest and with a bit of political luck able to have a second term in '28/'29.
