Rishi Sunak confronted a triple by-election risk this week with the Tories shedding two seats and hanging on to at least one.

All eyes in Westminster had been on the crunch votes in Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Selby and Ainsty in addition to Somerton and Frome on Thursday.

The Conservatives narrowly held on to Boris Johnson's former seat amid fury at London Mayor Sadiq Khan's enlargement of the extremely low emission zone (ULEZ).

But Labour and the Lib Dems overturned majorities of 20,000 to take Selby and Ainsty in North Yorkshire and Somerton and Frome in Somerset respectively.
