Rishi Sunak: By-election defeats show there's work to do

Rishi Sunak appears to blame low voter turnout for the Conservative Party's double defeat in the Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections.

The prime minister adds "there isn't a huge amount of enthusiasm" for Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer and urges the public to "stick with our plan".

Labour overturned majorities of 11,220 and 18,540, delivering the governmentā€™s ninth and tenth by-election defeats of the current Parliament and securing its second largest swing from the Conservatives ever.
