Sunak: By-election results 'obviously disappointing'
Rishi Sunak has described Friday's by-election results as "obviously disappointing".
Labour secured two new MPs by overturning huge Tory majorities in Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth.
The prime minister stressed that mid-term by-elections were "always difficult for incumbent governments" and that there had been "local factors at play".
