For the first time in my adult life, I woke up to something other than a Tory government. Let me tell you why that’s so extraordinary.
Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party suffered a monumental, era-defining defeat at Thursday’s general election. Here in the U.K., we all knew it was coming. The polls in the run-up to the day itself suggested that the Tories were as much as 20 points behind Labour. But even so, the scale of what happened last night is eye-popping. The Tories won the smallest number of seats since the Tory Party came into being in 1832, a truly staggering failure to drum up enthusiasm for any more Conservative rule.
It’s a goodbye to Rishi Sunak, and one he doesn’t even seem very unhappy to receive. Sunak has appeared to be campaigning in a half-arsed manner since he called the surprise election six weeks ago. Fair enough, on a personal level. He managed to hold on to his seat as a member of Parliament, but the thinking is that he will want to scuttle away to better paid and less contentious work somewhere like Silicon Valley soon.
At long last, whatever comes next, it feels good, if in a bitter and jaded way, to say goodbye to the Tories. So long, and thanks for
