No surprises regarding the election result last night then.
Quote:
The Liberal Democrats have won the North Shropshire by-election, taking a seat the Tories have held for nearly 200 years.
Winner Helen Morgan took the seat by nearly 6,000 votes, overturning a Conservative majority of almost 23,000
Boris Johnson says he has to accept the voters' verdict and that he understands "people's frustrations"
Morgan says the "party is over" for Johnson and punctures a balloon with his name on it as the Lib Dems celebrate.
The poll came after a turbulent month for the PM, with intense scrutiny on lockdown parties in Downing Street last year.
He also faced a rebellion of 100 of his MPs this week over Covid regulations.
Veteran Tory MP Roger Gale gives the PM a warning, saying: "One more strike and he's out"
Former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron says voters in North Shropshire spoke "for the whole of Britain last night"
