I guess it depends on what you are measuring against. The results from Yesterday are comparing against results in 2018 where Labour did very well and the Conservatives did poorly. A modest gain on a good result is probably 'OK to good' and a further drop on a bad result is bad news for the Conservatives.
These results do reflect what a big centrist hole there is. The Liberal Democrats are filling this one nicely as the Conservatives go to the right (in some policies but not all) and there is still the hangover of Jeremy Corbyns very left policies for Labour. It will be interesting to know where the Conservative voters went in this election - did they go Lib Dem or Green or did they go all the way over to Labour. I suspect it is the former

Just seem the term 'Long Corbyn' trending. That's a good description of Labours problem right now!
