And I say this as someone disgusted by Starmer's policy on Gaza. But let's face it, it's painfully evident that it's not the most important issue for most voters.

I suggest watching the video first before getting outraged about the title.

Labour had fewer votes in this election than in either of the last two, that's what Gaza's "cost" was to them.

The headline is cope, but it has abolsutley cost them seats and more importantly this is genuinely a victory of electoral-only, low-turnout, geneuinely unique (in terms of other parties) FPTP math. Labour's landslide isn't based on an increase of voters, nor popularity, and a ridiculous amount of even cabinet ministers wins were razor thin. The average margin of votes won by also more than halved. It's going to be a shitshow when the honeymoon is over.
