The Conservatives have lost the Tamworth by-election to the Labour Party, overturning a Tory majority of nearly 20,000. This outcome marks a significant political trend in the Midlands. Despite their previous comfortable win, the Conservatives fought hard to prevent Labour from gaining the seat. The result is seen as a twin test of Labour leader Keir Starmer's popularity, as voters filled two seats that were previously won by the Conservatives. The loss for the Conservatives in Tamworth is a blow to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's party.
