THE TELEGRAPH: The results mean that the Conservatives have surrendered seven constituencies in the last three years
Labour inflicted two of the heaviest ever by-election losses on the Tories on Friday morning, in what the party claimed was a “political earthquake”.
Sir Keir Starmer said his party was “redrawing the political map” after overturning enormous Conservative majorities in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire.
Rishi Sunak was warned the Tories faced being ousted following the dismal results in Nadine Dorries and Chris Pincher’s former seats.
It means that the Conservatives have surrendered seven constituencies in the last three years, a run of losses not seen since Sir John Major was in power. » | Nick Gutteridge, Whitehall Correspondent | Friday, October 20, 2023
