The Sunday time put a number to the "feeling". A survey of 15,000 voters gave Labour 468 seats (45% of the vote), Conservative 98, Scottish National Party 41, Liberal Democrats 22, and Reform 7. Wales and Scotland are free of any Conservative MPs.
It could have been worse. There is no doubt that in my area the Tories will win, but with greatly reduced margins. The two parties that lost the most in this poll are the Tories and the Liberal Democrats. The Liberals would rise to 22 seats, which is bad considering the destruction of the Tories...
The one that surprised me was the new Reform party which currently has one member in parliament. That they get to 7 is strange considering their absolute devotion to Brexit. Still, these were fascinating results.
