How are the LibDems destroyed? Did I miss something, what happened to them?

I would have said both the Tories and Labour are destroyed by now, as both have rendered themselves pretty much unelectable with their bickering and splintering. But yeah, looks like you have more or less the same opinion here. However, both are still by far the largest parties in the UK according to the recent polls, totaling over 75% of the votes between the 2.

Not sure if that's what Pyro ment, but the LibDems already are and have been in a state of ruin since forming a coalition with the Torries and signing off on their austerity politics. That they can't seem to profit from the chaos the other parties are in indicates that voters haven't forgiven them.

Okay, that sounds more realistic. They are trending upwards, but only ever so slightly (they were around 7% in June/August 2017 and now around 10%), and the UKIP seems to outpace them lately (hit around 2% in June 2018 but are now up to 6% again). So yeah, even with all the problems in the 2 major parties they can't seem to profit much from it.

What I'm actually more interested in is how NI and Scotland would vote now in a general election. Pretty sure the SNP would get pretty close to all their constituencies, but Northern Ireland is more open - though I think Sinn Féin would win the majority of the votes there.
