Sir Keir Starmer’s party are feeling positive about their chances in the two previously safe Conservative seats.
Labour appear increasingly confident of overturning huge Conservative majorities in the Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth by-elections.
But the Tories have held Mid Bedfordshire since 1931 and the 24,664 Conservative majority would be the largest overturned by Labour at a by-election since 1945.In Tamworth, Rishi Sunak’s party is defending a 19,600 majority and it would require a dramatic 21.4 percentage point swing for Labour to claim it.
“It is clear that we have to maintain our focus on people’s immediate priorities whilst taking long-term decisions which will lead to the change this country needs.” She said: “We do not need to win Tamworth to win a general election. The road to a Labour government in Number 10 runs through the West Midlands, of course, but it doesn’t necessarily run through Tamworth.
