Abstract

The Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, won two parliamentary seats from the Conservative Party in recent by-elections, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government. The victories in Wellingborough and Kingswood demonstrate a significant swing in support away from the Tories and towards Labour. The results also highlight the potential impact of Reform UK, a right-wing party founded by Nigel Farage, which won a notable share of the vote in both constituencies. These losses for the Conservative Party come at a challenging time, as the UK recently entered a recession and the general election approaches. [Extracted from the article]
