happened thursday night in a bit more detail. first thing to say, it was an astonishing victory for boris johnson, a larger majority than many people were expecting, a big win in terms of the popular vote. but really, although the conservative vote increased a bit, a couple of percentage points on thursday, the real story of thursday was a collapse in the labor vote rather than a big rise in the conservative one. and what that collapse of the labor vote meant was the conservatives won an awful lot of seats from labor, the kind of seats in which the labor party has held since the 1930s, seats like grimmsby, seats like blye valley. these are traditional working class areas in the midlands and in the north of england which have been held by the labor party for 30 years and boris johnson finds himself with this 80-seat majority. fascinating. >> and what happens now to the later labor party? was it the message or was it the man, jeremy corbyn?
