Rishi Sunak suffered a major political blow as the ruling Conservative Party lost a vital parliamentary election in northern England to the Labour Party.According to Bloomberg, the overturning of a big majority has given Keir Starmer’s party considerable momentum as they prepare for a national election next year.In addition, the Conservatives lost another vital seat in southwest England to the Liberal Democrats, dealing the prime minister a double blow. Sunak, on the other hand, averted a total rout when his party unexpectedly held ex-leader Boris Johnson’s former seat in a hotly contested outcome on London’s outskirts.
