A lot lower than I thought possible, even for a right-wing nut job like her.

This feels like she's positioning herself for after the election as the backwoods leadership candidate. I suspect thpugh that some of them would never vote for her.

Hopefully being kicked out by her electorate will be her lifestyle.

It's news to me that anybody would choose to live on the streets.

Electoral Calculus predicts she will keep her seat.

Electoral Calculus predicts she will keep her seat.

Is that her current seat? Or the one with the new boundaries? Not that I think it makes a difference to her holding on to the seat, but that she was chosen for the better seat in the redrawing underlines that she's popular with the membership.

Yes, unfortunately I do know a bit about Fareham.

I keep imagining her being the only person clinging on to the mast of a sinking ship and declaring herself to be the captain.

EC does predictions for both. The new one comes up with a predicted victory chance of ~66% and so does the old one, although, obviously the old one isn't going to happen.

My brother and my parents will be pleased that they will no longer be in her constituency. None of them think much of her.

They've chopped a bit off the West sided of her constituency and added a bit on to the East. The changes look radical but that's a bit deceptive. Fareham was the heart and population centre of the old constituency and will be in the new constituency.

Rishi Sunk's constituency is also pretty safe, but he will almost certainly resign as leader, so I think your characterisation is pretty much on point.
