Double By-Election Beating
Rishi Sunak, the Conservative Party's Chancellor of the Exchequer, is preparing for a potentially damaging blow in two upcoming by-elections. The Tories are projected to lose seats in both Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire.
Concerns Over Turnout
Even the Prime Minister's most loyal supporters have expressed concerns about the upcoming by-elections, describing them as "tough" and "dire". There is worry that traditional Tory voters may not turn out to vote.
Disappointment in Poll Bounce
Party strategists are disappointed with the Prime Minister's failure to gain a post-conference poll bounce. This has added to the pessimism surrounding the upcoming by-elections.
Lib Dem Challenge
The Liberal Democrats have shifted their focus from attacking Labour to targeting Tory votes, jeopardizing the Conservatives' chances of holding on to Mid-Beds. If Labour were to win the seat, it would be the largest majority ever overturned.
Hopeful MPs
Despite the polls suggesting a difficult outcome, some Tory MPs remain hopeful. They believe that the hostility they encounter on the doorstep is not as severe as predicted.
Green Belt Protection
There is hope among Tories that their commitment to protecting the green belt and opposing excessive development will prevent voters from switching sides. They believe this issue resonates with voters in Mid Beds.
Labour's Optimism
Labour MPs, on the other hand, are expressing optimism on the campaign trail. They acknowledge the challenge of winning seats in traditionally safe Tory areas, but they are determined to make history by securing victories.
