Sir Keir Starmer’s party overturned strong Conservative majorities in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth, with the leader claiming Labour was “redrawing the political map” ahead of a general election expected next year. In Mid Bedfordshire, Alistair Strathern, the new MP, delivered the largest majority overturned by Labour at a by-election since 1945. He won by just over 1,000 votes after a bitter three-way race between Labour, the Lib Dems, and the Tories. In Tamworth, Sarah Edwards countered a 19,000 Conservative majority. Labour will be hoping the result is a repetition of history — the party won Tamworth from the Tories in a by-election in 1996 before winning a landslide at the general election. The result in Tamworth was the second-highest-ever by-election swing to Labour. Edwards used her acceptance speech to demand Sunak call a general election.
