We found out who, barring some unforeseen circumstances, will lead the Labour Party to the next general election. It was Sir Keir Starmer.
We also discovered who Boris Johnson is not going to be leading the Conservatives towards it:
Two months later, Sir Keir Starmer's Labour leadership was put on hold by Durham detectives. He decided to resign if he was punished, in line with his demand for the same for Boris Johnson.
Sir Keir is relieved.
Johnson resigned after the police reached a decision that allowed him to draw the strongest contrast to the prime minister.
Labour and other parties saw him as a target because of his political woes, which have increased in recent months.
Sir Keir wished to be everything Boris Johnson wasn't.
Now that Mr Johnson is the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, Labour leader Tony Blair now has to face a variety of future targets.
Perhaps Sir Keir's replacement may not have the same opportunity for criticism as Mr Johnson in recent months.
However, opponents will find it easier to question the legitimacy of the new Conservative leader.
Labour will be hopeful that Boris Johnson's successor will not have the same appeal as he did in all the seats the Tories won under his leadership from Labour last year.
In addition, with both major Westminster parties agreeing to the EU withdrawal fundamentals, how much will the central issue from the last general elections be forgotten in a post-Brexit Britain?
Although the UK's relationship to its nearest neighbours does not feel like it has reached a new normal, Brexit is still a major news-maker and passion-boiler for many.
What about the Conservative wannabes, then?
They are launching charm offensives.
Videos, newspaper articles and Twitter handles.
This is a huge political challenge with the highest prize in British politics for the winning candidate.
Here's the question: What does it mean to be Conservative in 2022?
Given the fact that Boris Johnson's perceived lack of integrity contributed to his stunning loss of support from the Conservative benches, it is safe to assume that all candidates will be able to emphasize their integrity.
There is also economics. Boris Johnson's government was the most taxing and spending administration of all political stripes in recent times. Do you think that should change? How? How?
There are also cultural issues. The whole notion of "woke" is weaponized by some and proudly owned others.
You can expect a flood of smiles, promises, and visions.
Sir Keir Starmer will be Labour's representative, along with the offers from the Scottish National Party and Liberal Democrats.
Then there is this increasing number of Conservatives who hope to succeed Boris Johnson.
All because of the events of the past week, the political landscape is changing before our eyes for the next general elections.
