Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
And more bad news for the Tories as Labour wins Blackpool South by-election.

Mr Chris Webb won the contest with a crushing majority, gaining 10,825 votes, compared with Mr Jones’s 3,218. And, in an escape that will still leave alarm bells ringing for Mr Sunak, Reform was just 100 votes shy of upsetting the Tories on 3,101.

The result is the third biggest swing toward Labour in by-election history, representing a 26 per cent swing from the 2019 general election. Party sources said it is “much bigger” than the 12.5 per cent national swing needed to win a majority at the next general election.
