The Conservatives lost two previously safe seats in a night of by-election woe for Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak has suffered the loss of two previously safe Tory seats, with Labour securing swings of more than 20 percentage points to take Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire.
Tamworth’s Chris Pincher quit in disgrace after being found to have drunkenly groped two men at London’s exclusive Carlton Club – the handling of that scandal contributed to Mr Johnson’s downfall as prime minister. Seven of those contests have seen the Tories lose seats, four to the Liberal Democrats and three to Labour.Mr Sunak has to go to the country by January 2025 at the latest, but spring or autumn 2024 are more likely options.
Considering the Tories won in 2019 with a majority of 80, the prospect of a Conservative defeat would represent a seismic shift in British politics in the space of five years.The phrase “it’s the economy, stupid” has become a political cliche, but Mr Sunak has to a large degree pinned his hopes on an improving economic picture.
