The Tories clutch at a straw marked “ULEZ” but can’t hide the fact that they got an absolute hiding in three by-elections. What’s the truth behind the spin? Will Uxbridge tank Labour’s green policies? And who made a bigger fool of himself: Grant Shapps or Johnny Mercer?
Jacob Jarvis is joined by Alex Andreou and the New Statesman’s Zoë Grunewald to read the runes of a big night in Somerton and Frome, Selby and Ainsty, and former Boris Johnson stronghold Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
• “It was a spanking… The Tories’ narrow path to victory got a whole lot narrower and anyone who thinks others” – Alex Andreou
• “The Conservatives are going to use this to paint Labour into a corner on ULEZ… Labour need to stand their ground and keep their cool.” – Zoë Grunewald
• “Ever since their poll slide started the Conservatives have been looking for their new Brexit… .” – Alex Andreou
