I’d suggest the result of this by election speaks more of the desperate state of the Labour Party than it does the Tories. 
 

Labour behind even the Greens and a lost deposit. 
 

Yes, a kick in the nuts for the Tories, but another nail in the coffin for Captain Hindsight. 

Agreed, Starmer is dire. Shows how wrong I can be, I thought he would do a lot better.

Here's some food for thought;-

" Like “politically correct” before it, the word “woke” has come to connote the opposite of what it means. Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary’s definition, woke means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”, but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don’t recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact."

I was intrigued by this term WOKE that people keep using so I looked it up.

It's a crass word used mainly by the hard of thinking.

How is it a decent result?


Really? I don’t know anyone who’d think getting a point at Wembley against a “far superior side” was not a decent result. Yes like many sides our progress depends on results from other games. But it probably won’t come down to that in the end. Yes,as far as goals scored we are 1 behind England☹️.

I suspected as much.

As already mentioned it’s a term initially used by those on the hard left who wish to impose their thinking on others and firmly believe in their radical POV. They seen themselves as “woke” from many mainstream POV’s, both left and right but generally and almost exclusively from the right. These wet lettuces have had their “enlightenment” thrown back in their face and what they thought was something to emulate has turned into a term of derision.
