Rishi Sunak's party faces twin by-election defeats. ‘Plan working’, he says

Hindustan Times  

British prime minister Rishi Sunak said that two defeats for his Conservative Party in parliamentary by-election results showed that the party had more work to do before general elections that are expected later this year. UK by-elections: What Rishi Sunak said on the results “We look at the results, very low turnout, shows that we've got work to do, to show people that we are delivering on their priorities, and that's what I'm absolutely determined to do,” he said while insisting that his plan for the country "is working". Blaming the losses of Kingswood and Wellingborough on the "challenging circumstances", Rishi Sunak said, "Midterm elections are always difficult for incumbent governments, and the circumstances of these elections were of course particularly challenging." Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said, "These are fantastic results in Kingswood and Wellingborough that show people want change and are ready to put their faith in a changed Labour Party to deliver it.
