If this refers to the recent by-election I think I'd does, it was no such thing.

It was a slightly increased majority of a couple of thousand on a vastly, hugely reduced turnout. Almost half the people who turned out in 2019 to give their voice to, or against, BoJo and his campaign against the parliamentary zombifiers, couldn't be carded getting off their sofas.

as a measure of political disengagement in a political system and parties on all sides who clearly don't give a F@@@ about the people yes, it is perhaps a concern that engagement is once again falling to a level last seen in the dying days of Blairism

But frankly after their antics over the past months the Tory party deserved to be in the 'lost deposit' ranks beneath Howlin' Laud Hope and they're nowhere near that so actually Sky are talking bollocks (again) and Fishy Rishi has much to celebrate
