So Labour have recovered past 2019 but they’re not destined for government yet. They are probably a bit disappointed it isn’t more. They’ll want some signs of recovery in Scotland which is yet to count.

Lib Dems have to be the happiest party this morning.

Tories probably a bit pleased some of England wasn’t as bad as the worst fears but London has been a disaster. They didn’t expect to lose Westminster especially.
My guess it might be local issues in Westminster. Oxford Street is a state and Westminster opposed pedestrianising it and instead wasted money on that temporary mound at Marble Arch.
Is the strong performance from the Lib Dems more a recovery from the last local elections where they underperformed?
