Heavy Tory beating in double Labour victory breaks byelection record

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : This is always harder to do amid the noise of a general election, but the decision of voters to coalesce more around Labour as it became clear they had the better chance shows an arguably new level of focus in anti-Conservative voting.
48% : In the end, their vote tally rose, but even they were steamrollered by a Labour machine clearly motivated by the prospect of government.
45% : Governments often get a pounding from voters and the Conservatives had heavily managed expectations in advance, briefing in particular that they fully expected to lose their near-20,000 majority in Tamworth.
