"Labour's By-Election Blow to Tories Sparks Debate on Election Pitch"

TL;DR Summary
Labour celebrates a significant swing from the Tories in the Selby by-election, while the Liberal Democrats overturn a large Tory majority in Somerset and Frome. However, the Conservatives narrowly hold on to Boris Johnson's former seat in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Labour attributes their loss to the planned expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez), while the Conservatives claim it was due to voter anger over Ulez. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insists that the general election is not a "done deal," but the by-election results indicate a challenging road ahead for him.
