    Lost two out of three and the headline is a positive? I know politics is about setting expectations to frame a loss as a win, but that’s a bit rich!

      I guess it’s about expectations. They were expected to lose all three.

      And the one he won. Was a very close win. In an ex PM seat. Normally these are very safe seats.
