00:00 The UK ruling Conservative Party lost two seats in three parliamentary by-elections
00:05 on Thursday, but just managed to hold on to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's old
00:10 Uxbridge seat. In one constituency in Yorkshire, the main opposition Labour Party overturned
00:16 a huge Conservative majority to win the seat. And in the west of England, the Liberal Democrats
00:21 also overturned a large majority to win a contest. The results are a worrying indication
