    No ad hominem attacks or personal insults were used. However, there are a few instances of exaggeration and potential misrepresentation. The author quotes Tory insiders as saying they were “utterly convinced” their candidate had won, which implies certainty that later turned out to be false. This could be seen as an example of a fallacy of dichotomy, presenting the situation as if there were only two possible outcomes (their candidate winning or losing). Additionally, the author states “People said Scotland was a Labour country, we’ve all seen how that ended.” This statement could be interpreted as an appeal to authority, using past events to make a point about the current situation. It also implies that there was complacency on the part of Labour, which may not have been the case. Lastly, there is an example of inflammatory rhetoric when referring to Tory insiders as “overexcited” and blaming them for the incorrect assumptions about the election results.
    • . senior Tory sources were briefing that their candidate for London mayor, Susan Hall, had pulled off a spectacular, and unlikely, victory.
    • . . even some London Labour figures... began privately questioning whether the result could be tighter than they had expected.
    • . . senior party figures pointed the finger of blame at “overexcited” activists...
    • People said Scotland was a Labour country, we’ve all seen how that ended.
