Welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. We start here in the uk, where rishi sunak has suffered two stunning set backs and a surprising hold in three by elections in england. There were massive swings away from the conservatives in the two defeats, and the main Political Parties have been taking stock of what the results mean. There were celebrations for labour in the North Yorkshire seat of Selby And Ainsty the party Overturning A majority of more than 20,000 votes. There was an even bigger percentage swing for the Liberal Democrats in the south west, Taking Somerton and froome, Overturning A 19,000 majority. But the tories held on to borisjohnsons former constituency of uxbridge and South Ruislip in west london winning by just a95 votes. Lets go live to westminster and samantha simmonds. Thank you. Lets get more reaction now from all of those by election constituencies with our correspondents. Weve gotjonathan blake in froom and Chi Chi Izundu in uxbridge. Concept is mashed onto that seat. Chi chi, to you first. Theres been a row about adding onto the seat with the labour party blaming the extension of a policy known as ulez, ultra low emission zone by londons mayor. The conservative candidate said that is the reason he won. Indeed. He said that as the sole reason he won. Its a local issue and about the expansion of the ultra low emission zone. Labours london mayor sadiq khan said he wanted to expand it in london including this one but people said no, they dont want that because its another tax for them, another payment regardless of which way they decide to go about it. Whether they pay is a daily charge of £12 50 or try and upgrade their vehicles so it complies with their vehicles so it complies with the emissions. Either way, they said they dont want that. But lets not forget, Steve Tuckwell won by very small margin ofjust under 500 votes. They had to be a recountjust to double check he was in fact the one who won the seat. So it wasnt a walk in the park but he is saying that ulez, Ultra Low Emission Zone Expansion is the sole problem they have here and thats how he managed to take the seat. 50 it have here and thats how he managed to take the seat. To take the seat. 50 it seems is one issue has to take the seat. So it seems is one issue has dominated to take the seat. So it seems is one issue has dominated this. To take the seat. So it seems is one issue has dominated this. A to take the seat. So it seems is one issue has dominated this. A very i issue has dominated this. A very local and specific issue but a lot of soul searching now for the labour party and they were really hoping to take the seat even though they have never won it previously and it was that wind by Steve Tuckwell by very slim majority. That wind by Steve Tuckwell by very slim majority that wind by Steve Tuckwell by very slim majority. Slim maority. Indeed. 1966 was the last slim majority. Indeed. 1966 was the last time a labour slim majority. Indeed. 1966 was the last time a labour candidate slim majority. Indeed. 1966 was the last time a labour candidate won i slim majority. Indeed. 1966 was the | last time a labour candidate won the seat here but before last night but the idea was that labour would sweep the idea was that labour would sweep the board and take all three seats but now they had to be serious questions notjust for the conservative party but also the labour party because they did not do what they were expected to do and must ask the question is where they have gone wrong. The other issue is over ulez, the Ultra Low Emission Zone Expansion, there seems to be some confusion about what labour really stand for. 0bviously sadiq khan is pushing it through as labour london mayor but there seems to be a science approach from keir starmer who has not made the front that he is backing that is an issue that he wants to take forward. If there is an election next year and that might be causing confusion amongst Labour Voters and where he stands with this issue in london. Its anyones game as we know in the next election. People here are telling us that they did partake in some Tactical Voting simply because of that ulez issue. 0ne simply because of that ulez issue. One woman told us her son had a car who had to sell it for 11000 and is now in debt because he had £23,000 vehicle in order to go about doing his dailyjob. She said that is not fair and should not be what the local people here have two incorporate on top of The Cost Of Living crisis.
