The Spin

Right narrative

Another tricky by-election is in the cards for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the new year, with Wellingborough holding the potential to follow in the footsteps of by-election swings to Labour on several occasions this year. With the Tories continuing to lag in the polls, the news only further adds to the government's nightmare in office.

Left narrative

Despite often presenting himself as a moral leader within the Commons, Bone's misconduct is but another example of inadequacy within Westminster and the Conservative Party. Change within leadership and the overall system has never been more necessary.
