Ugly baby contest


Rob Watson, BBC World Service UK Political Correspondent, tweets:
Final vote stats for General Election 2019 make clear it was more Labour that lost it than Conservatives who won it. Mr Johnson got just over 300,000 more votes than Mrs May in 2017 but Labour got 2.6 million fewer than they did in 2017. Ugly baby contest.
Hmm. Boris achieved the second highest party vote at a general election in history - just short of 14m. Only John Major in 1992 got slightly more (just 126,442 more).

    I'm more inclined to agree with Rob here - you've got to take into account population growth (thanks Tony!).

    Yup Beebouds desperate to explain it away.
    They are gearing up for 5 years of trying to undermine and delegitimise the new Government . Same with Easton’s sudden enthusiasm for PR.
    Boris has to do something to rein back the BBC as soon as he can.
