Your framing is misleading.

Most people weren't aware of the Online Safety Act. I would argue it wasn't even any of the policies.

The Tories were in power for 14 years previously. During that time we had 5 prime ministers all of which were seen as weak and ineffective. People were sick of the Conservative party. This includes some of their most ardent supporters.

People were sick of the Conservative party, this includes people that had previously voted for the Conservatives.

The election had low voter turn out. It wasn't that Labour won, it was more like the Conservatives lost and by default Labour took power because they were the only other choice.
