Cabinet allies rallied round under-fire Boris Johnson as it emerged he went swimming in the wake of the Tories humiliating by-election defeats and the resignation of his party chairman.
After winning Wakefield from the Tories, Mr Lightwood said "the next Labour government has been born in this room tonight".
Labour leader Keir Starmer agreed, saying: "Wakefield has shown the country has lost confidence in the Tories.He added the Labour party was "back" and "ready for government".Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey told LBC the result in Tiverton and Honiton 'speaks for all British people' and said Tory MPs need to "wake up" and oust the Prime Minister."No majority of this size has ever been overturned in a by-election and so I'm pretty chipper today..
"Governing parties generally do not win by-elections particularly not in mid-term. You know, I'm very hopeful, but you know, there you go. That's just the reality."
