I think part of number 2 is the widespread expectation that the electorate would brutally murder the Tories in 2024 and they merely woke up in the emergency care unit, which they processed as a minor victory and has coloured everything that come after.

My top two mysteries of the moment in British Politics are:
1) Why does a PM as ineffectual & beige as Keir Starmer inspire quite so much genuine hatred?
2) Why are Tory MPs and members so happy with Kemi Badenoch when she hasn't even managed to pull the Party up to the depths it plumbed in 2024?
