    The Spin


    Right narrative

    It's difficult to read too much into a midterm by-election result. Such events are usually the subject of protest votes, where apathetic voters stay home rather than come out as they would in a general election.


    Left narrative

    These by-elections are a representative snapshot of the mood of the country. People are sick of Tory rule, and MPs will have no choice but to remove Johnson as leader if they want any chance of the British public trusting them again.
