Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a rocky day today after the Conservatives suffered two massive blows in the form of disastrous by-election losses.
The Conservatives lost Wakefield to Labour, with the seat turning red by a 4,925 vote majority. But in Tiverton and Honiton, an astronomical swing saw the Lib Dems come out on top - the Tories losing a majority of more than 24,000 votes after former MP Neil Parish resigned for watching pornography in the commons.
The Lib Dems have never previously held the Devon constituency but the blindsiding blows didn't stop there, as Tory party chair Oliver Dowden announced his shock resignation in the cherry atop Johnson's disastrous morning.
