YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tory chairman Greg Hands has told Sky's Anna Jones that the results in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire were "clearly disappointing" - but pointed to low voter turn out.

In Tamworth, the Conservatives were defending a 19,600 majority, but a 23.9 percentage point swing to Labour saw that eradicated.

Meanwhile, Mid Bedfordshire saw the largest numeric Tory majority ever overturned by Labour at a by-election since 1945.

The Conservatives have held the rural seat since 1931, winning with a 24,664 majority in 2019.
