My main takeaway from the elections is: I& #39;m not sure these results tell us much beyond a) confirming existing structural trends; b) incumbency bonus is a real thing when you& #39;ve been on people& #39;s TV all year telling them how you& #39;re going to save them from death.

Oh, and the Labour leader& #39;s office should be able to answer the basic question "are you blaming Angela Rayner for these results or not?"

The vaccine bounce is so real that I - a person who once wrote a whole piece about how embarrassing it was to watch Matt Hancock abase himself to get into Boris Johnson& #39;s Cabinet - looked at the photo of him getting vaccinated by Jonathan Van Tam and thought, "Oh, that& #39;s nice."
