The party leader vowed to ‘repay’ people who lent Labour their vote in the two seats.
Newly elected Labour MP Alistair Strathern met Sir Keir Starmer at the Forest Centre in Moretaine, Bedford after winning the Mid Bedfordshire by-election
Sir Keir added: “We know that voters here have voted for us and they’ve put their trust and their confidence in a changed Labour Party, and we will repay them for that trust and confidence. Labour MP Stephanie Peacock and newly elected Labour MP Sarah Edwards after she was declared the winner in Tamworth Just half an hour later, there was even better news for Sir Keir as Mid Bedfordshire saw the largest majority overturned by Labour at a by-election since 1945.But Mr Strathern took the seat with a majority of 1,192 over his Tory rival Festus Akinbusoye, with a swing of 20.5 percentage points to Labour.
The Conservatives sought to portray the by-elections as mid-term blips, exacerbated by the difficulties surrounding the previous MPs. The Tamworth result echoes Labour’s victory in a by-election in its predecessor constituency South East Staffordshire in 1996.
