UK: Johnson’s Conservatives suffer stunning defeat in by-election

Al Jazeera  

Liberal Democrats win in North Shropshire, a further sign support for the UK’s governing party is plummeting. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party has suffered a stunning defeat in a parliamentary by-election that is being viewed as a referendum on his government amid weeks of scandal and soaring COVID-19 infections. Liberal Democrat Helen Morgan, a centrist representing England’s third biggest party in North Shropshire, overturned a Conservative majority of almost 23,000 votes from the last election to win Thursday’s contest. “It’s so colossal for Boris Johnson because he’s been surrounded by scandals recently and they’ve made the most of it here really deep into Tory heartland,” Simmons said, speaking from Wem. Voters in the by-election gave the Conservatives “a kicking” because they were fed up, Johnson’s party Chairman Oliver Dowden told Sky News on Friday.
