But also, you know, the polling shows she polls far ahead of the party.

So the Tory brand still remains wildly unpopular after 14 years of administration.

But her personal poll ratings are much more favourable.

So I think she is probably safe for now.

And look, they could have a sort of a patchwork narrative.

They are going to lose a lot of seats across the country today.

But they may yet win back councils like Westminster, like Wandsworth, possibly Barnet in London, that mean they can present this as a bit of a mixed picture with a silver lining in parts.

It is such an eye-wateringly large personal gift.

He claims that it is an unconditional personal gift, has no influence on him or policy.

But I think it has led to a lot of surprise that this wasn't declared.

Obviously, Labour and the Tories and the Lib Dems say it should have been.

They are questioning whether this is a matter for investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.

And lots of critics pointing out that he was given this huge personal sum by a crypto investor.

However, you know, in Wales, Plaid Cymru have made clear that they wouldn't be seeking an independence referendum in any first term.

Their campaign has been largely on very mainstream issues like the cost of living, healthcare, migration and so forth.

And in Scotland, I think, you know, there is a sense that while the SNP is sort of giving lip service to the idea that, you know, it's time again for another referendum, their campaign has also not focused sort of squarely on that issue of independence.
