All they want to talk about is the local nature of their campaign and the quality of the candidate, which is how they conducted the campaign in the constituency over the last month.

The Daily Express seemed to be rattled by the result as it was unusually giving column space to a very left-wing party. That is a fair and justifiable stand-alone comment about the newspaper given its right-wing positioning.
To paint this as my thinking that this result is somehow a Tory tragedy requires a peculiarly big stretch of the imagination. Your unfettered loyalty to defend the Conservative Party from attacks is commendable, but I fear you're now defending it from non-existent attacks!
