What does “lost his deposit” mean in the context of UK elections? Do you only get your money back if you win? Is there some decorum standard he violated or something?

You lose your £500 deposit if you win 5% or less of the valid votes cast in the constituency. It’s to discourage no-hopers from taking part.
