Free AccessAnother Blow To PM Johnson's Position Following Poor By-Election Results
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's position is set to come under increasing pressure in the days and weeks ahead as he deals with the fallout of two parliamentary by-election losses on the same day. Following the loss of Wakefield in northern England to the centre-left Labour Party, and Honiton & Tiverton in southwest England to the centrist Liberal Democrats, Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden unexpectedly resigned.
- In his resignation letter Dowden, who backed Johnson for the Conservative leadership in 2019, stated that grassroots party members were "distressed and disappointed" by a slew of by-election losses. Adding that “We cannot carry on with business as usual. Somebody must take responsibility”. Observers have seen the last comment as a potential attack on Johnson over the 'partygate' scandal that has damaged the Conservatives' standing.
- The by-election losses were significant. Wakefield formed part of the 'red wall' of seats won from Labour for the first time in generations in 2019, and Labour's easy winning back of the seat will concern freshman MPs in northern English seats that Johnson is not the electoral draw he once was. In Tiverton and Honiton, the Liberal Democrats scored a major win, overturning a 24k+ vote majority in a result that will concern heartland southern England Conservative MPs

- Betting markets show little clarity in when they believe Johnson will leave office. Data from Smarkets shows an implied probability of 37.6% that Johnson leaves office in 2024 or later, 35.7% that he leaves in 2022, and 31.3% that he leaves in 2023 (sums to more than 100% due to bookie's over round).
