The latest losses for the Tories mean that they have now suffered the highest number of by-election losses in a single Parliament since 1960.

The latest losses for the Tories mean that they have now suffered the highest number of by-election losses in a single Parliament since 1960.

With yet another major pledge broken in an election year, here’s how some of the voices on the left reacted to the news.

“I absolutely believe that the economy has turned a corner and we’re now pointing in the right direction.”

“Rishi Sunak’s promise to grow the economy is now in tatters.”

It’s not going well for Sunak…

“Energy costs are still 80 per cent higher than in 2021.”

People up and down the country are struggling to make ends meet and the only answer the Tories have for them is to ‘work harder’.

The only thing that really animates Rishi Sunak, the only topic he seems to get really passionate about, is his defence of private schools.

The stakes are high

The poll found Conservative support had fallen by 25 points since the 2019 election, with just 34 per cent of voters in the 100 most rural constituencies in England saying they would vote for the party.
