Much as I would like to think that the penny has finally dropped about the dodgy, self serving and corrupt Tories, I presume that this is probably more down to local issues?
Whilst there are undoubtedly local issues at play with HS2, that was still happening in 2019 too so I'd not pay too much credence to that being the main driver. To lose a 16,000 + majority to having over 8,000 less votes than the lib dems in under 2 years is an astonishing result and worse than the Hartelpool result was for Labour.
Make no mistake, this is a seismic shock to the Tories and those on the 1922 committee that are already furstrated with Johnson will be sharpening their knives even more so. The cracks in the Johnson led Tory government are beginning to show, and spectacularly so.
