Tories lose two seats in by-election blows to Boris Johnson and Tory chair quits

BBC News says THE CONSERVATIVES have lost two parliamentary by-elections, with the Liberal Democrats and Labour delivering blows to Boris Johnson.

In Tiverton and Honiton, Devon, the Lib Dems overturned a huge Tory majority to win by more than 6,000 votes.

And in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Labour took back a seat it had lost to the Conservatives in 2019.
