Boris Johnson resignation makes Labour election win more likely | UK politics | New Statesman

"Parties that are seen as divided normally perform poorly at elections" - Ben Walker Subscribe on YouTube:    / @newstatesman   Boris Johnson resigned as an MP over the weekend, shortly after Johnson loyalists Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams announced they were also standing down. The moves have triggered three individual by-elections, meaning Rishi Sunak could face the unenviable prospect of becoming the first Prime Minister to lose three seats in simultaneous by-elections should Labour and the Liberal Democrats manage to overturn the Conservative majority. In this video, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Rachel Wearmouth and Ben Walker to analyse the fall-out from this wave of resignations, and discuss what it means for Rishi Sunak's increasingly divided Conservatives ahead of the next general election. Who would win if an election was held today?
