It was a fluke majority. No doubt at all about that. It was the result of pathetic govt from the Tories and people were prepared to vote for anyone but them, much to the benefit of Labour.

"What if everyone of the 625 constituencies had a recall petition to get rid of their mp?"
That would be very unlikely.
Consituents cannot trigger a recall petition just because they no longer like their MP. A petition can only be called if their MP is either:
- convicted of an offence in the UK and receives a custodial sentence or is ordered to be detained, other than solely under mental health legislation
- suspended from the House of Commons for 10 sitting days or 14 calendar days
- convicted of providing false or misleading information for allowance claims under the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.
As dodgy as many of them might be, it is unlikely that all 650 (note, not 625) or even a sizeable majority of them would qualify under one of the above.
It's unfortunate but, unless something really unusual happens, the country is largely stuck with a Labour government until 2029. If they haven't already, by that time people will have learned what it's like living under a proper Labour government.
The last time such an horrendous experience ended was in 1979 so nobody much under the age of about 65 will have any idea what that's like. They will find out over the coming four years.
