    Have you seen any analyses that bear this out? I haven't. A constituency-by-constituency comparison of 2019 and 2025 vote would be useful, but changes in borders could make this tricky.

  • Someone on TV last night/this morning was saying that the labour goal was seats, not vote share, and they were set to lose support in safe seats so the campaigning resource could be elsewhere.
    I think in that respect, the plan worked really well.
