00:00 While twin by-election defeats for the Tories mean a rare few days of respite for Rishi Sunak have

00:05 well and truly come to an end. Earlier this week it was largely Labour feeling the heat amid rouse

00:10 over its own election candidates anti-Israel comments but now the Prime Minister has suffered

00:15 the twin blows of the UK entering recession and a pair of crushing by-election defeats.

00:21 The scale of the losses overnight will worry the PM. In Wellingborough Labour achieved a swing

00:26 bettered only by Tony Blair in 1994 in by-elections since the Second World War. It is yet another

00:33 suggestion that Sakeha Starmer is on course for number 10 in the general election that's likely

00:38 to happen later this year. But perhaps more worryingly for Rishi Sunak in the immediate future

00:43 is the performance of reform in both by-elections. As I revealed earlier this week Tory MPs plotting

00:48 to oust the PM before an election said that if Nigel Farage's party hit double figures in

00:54 Wellingborough it would be the trigger for a fresh move against Sunak and of course reform

00:59 got 13% in Wellingborough way outpacing that bar that was set. All eyes will now be on what these

01:06 disaffected right-wingers do next because even if they have little chance of actually getting rid of

01:10 Sunak the ongoing instability and division they will sow if they revive their plot will only make

01:16 its electoral prospects worse.
