Keir Starmer has said that Labour is “redrawing the political map” as he carried out a triumphant tour to the site of two historic overnight byelection wins, as his party overturned huge Conservative majorities in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire.
Standing next to Alistair Strathern, who overturned the Conservatives’ near-25,000 majority under Nadine Dorries in Mid Bedfordshire, Starmer said the new MP had “made history here over the past 24 hours” with the scale of the win.
