It looks like this Labour 'landslide' has been secured with a voter turnout and voter share substantially less than Labour's "worst ever defeat" in 2019.
It would also have been a smaller victory, had Reform not taken huge swathes of the Tory vote, enabling Labour to win constituencies they would normally have lost.
Many people didn't bother to vote, which is the big takeaway from this election and one that Reform will exploit in the next 5 years. Disaffected voters are fascism's food.
