The Tories' By-Election Double Defeat

Labour has overturned huge Conservative majorities to win two by-elections in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth. So is the party on the path to a general election victory?

The Conservatives have suffered two by-election defeats to Labour in previously safe seats -- Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth, in the Midlands. The Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, said it was "history in the making". The Tories have blamed the outcome on low turnout and their voters staying at home. In this episode of our 5 Questions On podcast, the 大象传媒's political correspondent, Nick Eardley, considers what these results mean for the next general election. (Image: Jacob King/PA Wire)
