Polls have closed in the by-elections for Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire, with the Conservatives aiming to keep seats.
Both seats were seen as very safe Tory constituencies, but after a major dip in popularity for the party, either could be up for grabs.The elections were triggered by the resignations of Nadine Dorries and Chris Pincher, who represented Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth respectively.Tamworth, in Staffordshire, is likely to be a two-way fight between the Conservatives and Labour, while Mid Bedfordshire will also see serious competition from the Liberal Democrats.
"We have seen little to no enthusiasm for Sir Keir Starmer who voters can see stands for nothing and always puts short term political gain first."It is clear that we have to maintain our focus on people's immediate priorities whilst taking long-term decisions which will lead to the change this country needs.
