Polls have closed in the by-elections for Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire, with the Conservatives aiming to keep seats.
Both seats were seen as very safe Tory constituencies, but after a major dip in popularity for the party, either could be up for grabs.Tamworth is likely to be a two-way fight between the Conservatives and Labour, while Mid-Bedfordshire will also see serious competition from the Liberal Democrats.The elections were triggered by the resignations of Nadine Dorries and Chris Pincher.The Conservatives and Labour were aiming to manage expectations after the poll closed.
"We’ve spoken to thousands of local people who are fed up with this chaotic, distracted Tory Party that does nothing but lurch from crisis to crisis."But we have known all along that winning these seats would be a long shot, with huge majorities to overturn. The fact that we are even on the pitch is a sign of how far the Labour Party has changed."We are making real progress in all corners of our country and showing that with Labour, we can get Britain’s future back.
