Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives on Friday suffered two crushing UK parliamentary by-election defeats but averted a “3-0” drubbing by unexpectedly holding on to Boris Johnson’s old Uxbridge seat.
The grave problems facing the British prime minister were highlighted when the opposition Labour party secured its biggest-ever by-election win in the once-safe Tory seat of Selby and Ainsty in Yorkshire.
Earlier the centrist Liberal Democrats demolished a massive Tory majority to win the seat of Somerton and Frome, opening up a dangerous new front for Sunak in the Tory heartlands of England’s South West.
Oops! I meant Boris!
Will edit to reflect that.
The air is cleaner, and there’s less traffic. Underground was terrible when I was a kidd.
No worries, I guessed that’s what you meant.
I was referring to how ULEZ was initially announced by Boris in 2015. Boris is awful, but that doesn’t mean every idea he had was awful.
No, I think the bikes were a good idea.
The bikes were actually Ken Livingstone’s idea…
Were they? So boris nicked them as well? Shouldnt be surreally.
