My main takeaway from the elections is: I'm not sure these results tell us much beyond a) confirming existing structural trends; b) incumbency bonus is a real thing when you've been on people's TV all year telling them how you're going to save them from death.

Oh, and the Labour leader's office should be able to answer the basic question "are you blaming Angela Rayner for these results or not?"
