Boris Johnson has suffered a disastrous defeat in the Tiverton and Honiton byelection after the Liberal Democrats overturned a Tory majority of more than 24,000 to win the seat.
The Liberal Democrats won 22,537 votes, with Tories second on 16,393.
The spectacular loss of the Devon constituency, held by the Tories since it was created 25 years ago, will be seen as a sign of Johnson’s diminishing electoral appeal after Partygate and as the cost of living crisis escalates.
