Those by-elections (potential and otherwise) in full

Pretty close result. Assumedly Tories world take that back, if the seat still existed at the next election, which it won't
 
Guardian giving some context regarding Staffordshire...

Before the byelection on Thursday, the Conservatives held all 12 parliamentary seats in Staffordshire. In 1997, nine of the 12 MPs in Staffordshire were Labour. This remained the case until 2010, when only four Labour MPs remained. The Tories gained another seat in 2017. In 2019, the Conservatives gained the last three remaining seats held by Labour.

Mid Bedfordshire, Labour GAIN from Conservative
 
The Tories had majorities of 19,000 and 25,000 in the two seats that they were defending.

Expect to see civil war erupt in the Tory party again. The turn to the unelected technocrat hasn’t worked and looking at those results Tory MPs will more overtly focus on their overwhelming priority: themselves and their own interests.
