I'll say this just once because the spin on the Mid Beds byelection is just disrespectful to the hard work of @alistrathern 's campaign. I spoke to more Tory - Labour switchers than I ever have on the doors. I did ten days in the constituency over the 130-odd day campaign. (1/2)

Just posting past voting numbers and saying the Labour vote didn't change is disingenuous. People generally were switching out of a want for change. Very few protest votes. Very few tactical votes. People genuinely felt Labour in Mid Beds was better than another Tory. (2/2)

Rishi Sunak was accountable for the HS2 budget as Chancellor. He's been advised by some of the best in the industry on the cost and risk associated with the scheme. His lack of commitment now is nothing but electioneering, putting jobs in our industry at risk.

The Prime Minister is reportedly 'alarmed' by the rising cost of HS2. But as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Chancellor and now Prime Minister he has had responsibility. Communities and taxpayers are paying the price for years of Conservative mismanagement and chaos.
