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.

In this episode of our 5 Questions On podcast, the 麻豆社's political correspondent, Nick Eardley, considers what these results mean for the next general election. (Image: Jacob King/PA Wire)
