[This] confirms that the Conservatives are still in deep, deep electoral trouble. The 21 point drop in support in Kingswood in line with the 19-20 point drop that they're currently suffering in the opinion polls. The 37 to 38 points drop in Wellingborough is actually the biggest Tory loss the Conservatives have ever manage to suffer in a post war by election.
Now, it may well be that the circumstances surrounding Peter Bone's downfall and his replacement by his partner perhaps added to the lead party's woes in Wellingborough, but there is no gainsaying the fact that this morning we are still looking at a government that, at the moment, is staring defeat in the face of the next general election.
