Labour need a bigger swing than Tony Blair's landslide to win the next general election. Results like these allow Sir Keir Starmer to say that's a feasible goal.
A historic night saw Labour overturn the biggest-ever Conservative majority in a parliamentary by-election. The seat of Tamworth became vacant when Chris Pincher resigned after losing his Standards Committee appeal. Mr Pincher secured a 42.6% majority in 2019. In a catastrophic loss for the Tories, Labour have overturned what was one of the Conservative's safest seats. With a 23.
It's also a result that makes the by-election league tables. It's the sixth biggest swing from the Tories to Labour. This is the seventh biggest Conservative majority overturned, meaning half of the largest 10 Conservative defeats have been in this parliament. Four of them while Rishi Sunak has been PM. They're trying to brush off these colossal losses as mid-term blues, but this is at odds with their 'time for change' message.
