Rishi Sunak has suffered a humiliating double by-election defeat as Labour overturned huge Tory majorities in stunning victories.
Voters turned their backs on the Conservatives in both Kingswood and Wellingborough in what was a nightmare set of results for the under-fire Prime Minister. National polls suggest the Tories are on course for a historic wipeout at the general election and the defeat will pile further pressure on Mr Sunak's leadership.
In an incredible victory Keir Starmer's Labour overturned an 18,000 majority in Wellingborough on a 28.5% swing - the second biggest from the Tories at a by-election since the Second World War. As reported by the Mirror, the swing is well beyond what Mr Starmer needs across the country later this year at the general election to form the first Labour government in 14 years.
Elections expert Professor John Curtice said the results showed the Tories are "still in deep, deep, electoral trouble". On Friday morning he said: “The truth is I think today Sir Keir Starmer looks as likely to be the next Prime Minister as he did 24 hours ago - if indeed not even more so".
At around 4am charity worker Gen Kitchen was elected the first Labour MP to represent Wellingborough in nearly 20 years with 13,834 votes - a 45.8% share. In her victory speech, Ms Kitchen, who said she cut short her honeymoon for the campaign, said: "The people of Wellingborough have spoken for Britain. This is a stunning victory for the Labour Party and must send a message from Northamptonshire to Downing Street."
The Reform UK party founded by Nigel Farage finished third with 13% of the vote, its best performance at a by-election, and candidate Ben Habib hailed it as "remarkable". Asked why people voted for him, he said:

Todd Gilchrist editor With her ninth album “This Is Me…Now,” Jennifer Lopez promised to be more honest and vulnerable than ever before — a bookend to 2002’s “This Is Me…Then” in which she would “tell her side” of the romances that for decades have been one-dimensionally splashed across the pages of tabloids worldwide. Even as a lifelong fan, I was skeptical just how far back she’d draw the curtain given the meticulous control she’s exerted over her career.
