The big story in the #wellingborough and #kingswood #bielection results isn't the #Labour victory, or the #tory loses, or even the #reformpartyuk . It's that the #liberaldemocrat party was nowhere. I have written to the party and to #eddaveymp suggesting that they will be humiliated in the #GeneralElection unless they propose a new poll on the #EU . We need one party that will allow us to express our opinion on how #brexit is "progressing". I suggest you do the same.

I think what's most notable about the by-election results last night is that Labour got about the same actual number of votes in #Wellingborough compared to 2019, and actually went down in #Kingswood. The biggest net change appears to have been 2019 Tory voters just staying at home instead. To me, it suggests a lack of real enthusiasm for Labour, just even less enthusiasm for the Tories. #byelection #election

What will really alarm #toriesOut - and should - is that #reformUK are eating their lunch

Despite leading the most rightwing UK govt of all time, #sunak is hemorrhaging voters

13% voted Reform in #wellingborough, 10.4% in #Kingswood

The far Right must know all they can do is hurt the Tories, they can't win seats - but may calculate inflicting that damage will drive the Tories even further right for the longer term

Labour has wisely rejected the far Left (which is anyway much less popular)

Great results in #wellingborough and #Kingswood for #labour

The former the second biggest swing from #toriesOut to Labour in any post-war election

The latter bodes well for prospects of a #portillo moment for #reesMogg - part of Kingswood moves into the seat he currently represents - we can but hope!

Rather gives the lie to recent events having a significant adverse impact on prospects for the #2024GE

#starmer will be strolling into Downing St this year!

It's been so long!

To the people of both #Kingswood and especially #Wellingborough, where 13% of you voted for Ben Habib of the Reform Party, just a small request from the people of #NorthernIreland - can you keep the Reform candidates away from us in NI?

We have enough issues trying to get Northern Ireland governance back on an even keel - so we don't need anymore right wing wannabes using NI to keep themselves relevant.

Enough of you voted for them, so you obviously like them, so can you keep them please.

Congrats to Damien Egan in the #Kingswood by-election. Labour's not my favourite party, but they're lightyears better than the Tories. Every Tory that loses a seat is a win. And Damien's a good egg.

Rees Mogg swoops in at the last minute and wins the ‘Tory spin a disaster bullshit comment’ competition of the week - see if you can spot the winning entry

I’m confused, you mean that people care more about, cost of living, NHS, food banks, rent & mortgage rates, wages, rivers of shit, corruption, tax dodging billionaires, the breakdown of society and austerity than ‘the boats’ that can’t be right surely

Hell YEAH!!!!!!!

OK Labour aren't perfect by a long way. But this result - Yes!

Also, I have never seen a harder working election campaign than the one Labour fought. From door knickers to constant mailings, fliers and posters - they really wanted this!

Good grief, apparently Jacob Rees Mogg was at the #Kingswood count as a GB News presenter, not as an MP. Yet he's been interviewed for other news programmes as if he were there in his capacity as an MP. Shocking conflict of interest.

Hmmm.... the #LabourParty has overturned sizeable majorities in tow previously 'safe' #Tory seats in this week's two by-elections (in #Kingswood & in #Wellingborough).

But, while these may be indicative of a swing to Labour, they may also indicate a swing (on the right) towards Reform, which likely compounded a voting 'strike' (staying at home) by previous Tory #voters.

For leftists, the problem will be if #KeirStarmer takes this as vindication of his tack to the right & policy weakening!

Waking up to great by-election news, particularly John Curtice saying the drop of nearly 38% in the Tory vote in Wellingborough is the biggest since the war. Two new Labour MPs 🌹🌹
