Rishi Sunak's Conservative party suffered brutal defeats in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire by-elections
Thousands of people called for a UK General Election to be called immediately after Labour recorded two "historic" by-election wins in one night. Keir Starmer's party swept to victory in the Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire by-elections, leading to calls for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to call a national poll now.The victories overnight were the party's second and third gains of the month, after the Rutherglen and Hamilton West constituency was won from the SNP on October 5.
Among the most vocal on the topic were, perhaps predictably, Merseyside Labour politicians. Wallasey MP Angela Eagle tweeted simply "Call a General Election NOW - PM has no legitimacy." West Derby MP Ian Byrne was even more to the point as he tweeted "General Election now." Sir Keir added: "We know that voters here have voted for us and they've put their trust and their confidence in a changed Labour Party, and we will repay them for that trust and confidence."We do so humbly. And I know there are people yesterday who probably voted Tory in the past who voted for a changed Labour party because they despair at the state of their own party.
Sir Keir claimed Labour was "redrawing the political map" by taking seats which had been comfortably Conservative, ahead of the general election expected next year.
