The Superbowl and a general election are definitely worth an all nighter. An away Ashes series less so.

Mid Bedfordshire 24,000 majority and held since 1931. Tamworth nearly 20,000 majority.
Labour get either one of those and the Conservative MP’s can all get busy tidying up their CV’s because they will get routed.

If we're doing sporting parlance, xG right now looks like Conservative (0.8) Labour (1.2) but they're thin markets.

Turnout in Tamworth reported as just 36%. That seems abject to me. Though I can several lower in the last year or so. Is that a trend in itself?

They're only by-elections so turnout will be lower, Labour increased their vote in one of the two, and was slightly down in the other.
But the Tories lost 20,000 and 26,000 votes respectively. How Sunak survives this is beyond me. Whatever happens to Labour votes up and down the country in a proper general election, losing 20,000 votes across the board and most MPs won't have a seat. Can't see how the knives won't be out or they're just counting down days until they lose one of their pay days.

You think the next Tory PM can't get any worse, but Sunak seems to have elevated that trend to a new level.
