Sir Keir Starmer’s party are feeling positive about their chances in the two previously safe Conservative seats.
Votes are counted at Priory House in Chicksands, Bedfordshire during the count for the Mid Bedfordshire by-election
The Conservatives said holding the two constituencies would be “challenging” for any incumbent government. “We have seen little to no enthusiasm for Sir Keir Starmer who voters can see stands for nothing and always puts short-term political gain first. “It’s a really big majority, so the fact that Labour are even on the pitch, even in contention, in this election is quite astonishing.”Ms Peacock said while defeat in Tamworth would not necessarily mean the party could not win the next general election, victory would be a “stunning result” for Labour.
Labour’s Alistair Strathern and the Lib Dems’ Emma Holland-Lindsay have both received high-profile backing from their party leaders in a contest which they have had plenty of time to prepare for – Ms Dorries originally said she would quit in June.
