[HIGHLIGHTS] United Kingdom: Labor opposition wins double victory in partial legislative elections

British Labor Party wins two victories in by-elections. Sarah Edwards won Tamworth by 1,316 votes, while the Conservatives lost Mid-Bedfordshire seat.

For the Conservatives, this is the most bitter defeat in a by-election since 1945. The path to Downing Street seems clear for the poll favorite who welcomed this “ tremendous result ”, says Keir Starmer, leader of the British Labor Party, on January 23, 2024 in the UK House of Commons.
