Labour did not really win, rather the Tories lost, the Lib Dems played a blinder and Reform hoovered up the right wing/little England votes that were lent to the Tories in 2019.

This is the most depressing part of this GE. The Tories will quickly turn on themselves, Sunak will leave before the end of the year and the ones left will fight like rats in a sack. They will then splinter with the ones desperate for power (and money) will do a deal with Farage and form a new ConForm party.
Labour (or rather Old Tory Lite), having backed themselves into all sorts of fiscal/policy corners to win, will huff & puff for 5 years without making material/visible change leaving the door open for a possible hung parliament with the agenda driven by ConForm and its agenda of hate & bigotry.
