UK Latest: Sunak Dealt a Double Defeat in By-Elections

The transcript discusses recent election results where the Tories lost Selby to Labour and Somerton and Freeman to the Liberal Democrats, which was expected but still significant due to the large majority overturned. However, they managed to retain Uxbridge, possibly due to local issues like car emissions.
