Not the first time. I believe the last Tory government polled fewer
votes than Labour.

No, the Conservatives in 1992 polled 14,093,007 votes (the largest
number ever cast for a single party) and Labour polled 11,560,484.

Though Blair/Brown polled less in 2005 (9,562,122) than Major did in 1997
(9,600,943) - this could be the statistic that Guy misremembered?
