It'll be very interesting how Starmer manages the massive majority.
There'll be jobs for many but there'll also be plenty who will feel they've earned the right to a senior post.

The unions played a significant role putting a weak govt under even more pressure.
They'll be fine provided their striking members are rewarded.

Once upon-a-time a super majority (although we won't have seen anything on this scale before) would mean term after term, after term in office. But this is a different electorate.

The electorate have turned their back on the Tories, who won with an 80 seat majority last time out, so in five years time we'll start from scratch again.

The Tories will appoint a new leader (it could be anyone as it really does depend on who's left! Also think Sunak will lose his seat.) and work on solid policies.
It doesn't take much to turn the public as we've seen with this govt.

Overall Labour have managed this election expertly. They've kept away from controversial topics and said very little whilst the Tories continue to implode.
The hard part starts on Friday.
