Gary Neville has told PM Boris Johnson "he's done" after the Conservatives were thrashed in the Tiverton & Honiton and Wakefield by-elections.
Labour reclaimed the Wakefield seat they lost at the general election in 2019 with a 12.69 per cent swing. It's believed Keir Starmer's party will win a majority at the next general election - allowing them to form a government - if they enjoy a similar swing nationwide.
More damning for the Tories was their defeat in Tiverton & Honiton. The Tories boasted a 24,239 majority after the last general election, but the Liberal Democrats won the seat by more than 6,000 votes - representing a 29.93 per cent swing from the Tories. The impact of the two by-elections is already being felt by the Tories. Party co-chair Oliver Dowden resigned on Friday morning, insisting "somebody must take responsibility" for their poor results.
