Labour has knives out after plan to win Boris Johnson’s old seat fails

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:07:07 GMT

LONDON — “Sadiq Khan has lost Labour this election.”Those were the words of the newly-elected Conservative MP in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. But it was also the conclusion drawn privately on Friday by some of Labour leader Keir Starmer’s allies.Labour had been fighting to win two long-time Tory-voting constituencies in by-elections this week. It focused resources on the North Yorkshire seat of Selby and Ainsty, which the Tories were initially hopeful of holding. Labour succeeded there in burning through the 20,137 Tory majority — the biggest one they have ever overturned in a by-election.Uxbridge and South Ruislip — a constituency on the outskirts of London that had been represented by Tory Boris Johnson before he quit — was seen as the easier target of the two. It had a relatively narrow 7,210 Conservative majority and demographic changes had been working in the opposition’s favor.Internal Labour data in recent weeks suggested that they were on track to win it. There was no attemp...

He’s arguing that for U.S. submarine manufacturers to be able to boost production enough to supply both the U.S. Navy and Australia, the industry needs more investment from the federal governm...
