As a result of two heavy by-election losses, the Conservative party has suffered two heavy defeats, with Labour overturning huge majorities in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth.

In Mid Bedfordshire, the party defeated the Liberal Democrats to win the seat for the first time, defeating a 24,664 Tory majority.

There was a 23.9% swing from the Tories to Labour in Tamworth.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Labour was “redrawing the political map”.

According to him, this is a game changer.

The new Labour party has a renewed sense of confidence that it can go anywhere in the country, fight hard and win seats it has never won before.”

According to him, “every vote on this journey has to be earned” and he does not want to get carried away.

Greg Hands, Tory Party chairman, said the results were “disappointing”, but said Conservative voters stayed at home was the biggest problem.

The fact that a number of our voters are unhappy with the government is no surprise to us.” “We clearly have a job to do to win them back.”

Labor has gained ground ahead of the expected general election next year as the Tories also trail in the national polls.

Since 1931, the largely rural Mid Bedfordshire constituency has had a Tory MP. Labour has never held the seat.

By winning by 1,192 votes, Labour’s Alistair Strathern secured a swing of 20.5% to overturn the 24,664 Tory majority.

With 12,680 votes, the Conservative candidate Festus Akinbusoye, Bedfordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, came second, while Emma Holland-Lindsay received 9,420 votes.
