does - uxbridge. so obvious difficulties were rishi sunak. does it- uxbridge.z? the speculation that has are merged by this result is they were unhinged by a campaigner focused is they were unhinged by a campaignerfocused on is they were unhinged by a campaigner focused on the is they were unhinged by a campaignerfocused on the proposal from the london labour mayor sadiq khan that the london low emission zone means that people have to pay to go around london must be into the constituency. and seemingly heavy commitment of voters to labour was not so strong that against the backdrop of that local campaign voters some at least did not go back towards the conservatives. therefore, it raises the question as to whether or not labour who strategy seems to be primarily to say as little as possible in order to offend as few as possible and thereby gains put that way, whether to try to make voters more enthusiastic about labour after the next election. it currently seems to be the case and implies taking a few more risks in the hope that you then solidify the support of

labour had hired hopes of taking borisjohnson�*s old seat of uxbridge and south ruislip in west londonrvatives clung on. the winning candidate steve tuckwell suggested that a single issue had sunk labour's chances. the labour mayor of london sadiq khan is extending what is called the ultra low emissions zone to this area. it effectively translated as a tax on older, more polluting vehicles and proved unpopular on the doorstep. but rishi sunak wants to suggest that the voters�* appetite for a change of government was limited. no one expected us to win here, but steve's victory demonstrates that when confronted with the actual reality of the labour party, when there is an actual choice on a matter of substance at stake, people vote conservative. there was a swing of support away from the conservatives and to labour in uxbridge, butjust not enough for them to take the seat. the symbolism of rishi sunak claiming victory will no doubt sticking sir keir starmer�*s throat and lead to an internal inquest. it also raises questions the strength and depth of labour's opinion poll lead if a campai

in uxbridge on ulez .e message from ulez. surely the message from that is, as you say, if we say we're going to roll back on these targets, we agree saving these targets, we agree saving the planet is important, but saving you the vote or a few quid is also important. saving you the vote or a few quid is also important . so quid is also important. so there'd be a lot of votes in that, wouldn't that? surely be? >> i think there will. and also, as you've said, a lot of criticism at the moment that both seem to be both the parties seem to be pretty . and so pretty close together. and so how do you pick their looking at not just the advice that certain people within cabinet, people like david frost , people within cabinet, people like david frost, is giving in the telegraph today about softening some of these green targets, but also sort of other ways to differentiate themselves from labour. so immigration being a very obvious one. obviously, the government got its illegal migration bill through parliament at

uxbridge was clearly about ulez.roof of that is that the tory victor made that point himself in all of his in all of his kind of post election post announcement interviews . he post announcement interviews. he made it very clear that this was a kickback from the constituency against sadiq khan. the interesting thing about that, by the way, is i suspect that people conservative central people in conservative central office were not best pleased about that because, of course, what they would have liked. i think, is for the tory candidate , tuckwell, to have come out and said, yes, this is an endorsement of rishi you endorsement of rishi sunak. you know, this is clearly know, this this is clearly showing the election is the showing that the election is the next election is far from done. rishi is making inroads in terms of the recent inflation announcement with inflation going down and the migration bill going through and instead all these all these all of these all of these interviews were specifically about . so that

in uxbridge and south ruislip, _ particularly in uxbridge and south ruislip, ulez— particularly in uxbridgeiggest swing to labour ever in a by—election so these are incredibly challenging elections for labour but i think the result one thing is very clear and it's been clear to me and i've been speaking with people on the doorstep that there will be people in this election who will be voting labour for the first time. they can see that keir starmer has turned the labor party around, that the labor party is in the service of working people and i think that will definitely be the case whatever the eventual result from these by—elections. conservative mp andrewjones, for the neighbouring constituency to selby and ainsty of harrogate and knaresborough, says he thinks the result there is going to be very close. obviously were defending the big majority and we know what the numbers are. but as well, this has been a period of extreme political turbulence and anything can happen in a by—election. it is midtown to that will be quite problematic as well, but who knows. we think it be close. i've been

alex forsyth, bbc news, in uxbridge and south ruislip.les are the bane of anyone on wheels — and now they have forced the organisers of a popular cycling event in cambridgeshire to call it off. the strawberry community cycle event usually takes place in september and attracts 400 riders, but as jo black reports, the club blamed the cancellation on the "grave state of many roads." holes left. holes middle! beware of the potholes, a thorn in the side of many a road user, and now an annual cycling event in cambridgeshire has been cancelled because the organisers think the state of the roads make the course far too dangerous for the riders. this year, we started to look at the course a few weeks ago, and we noticed that the potholes had become worse around the local community. so we rode the course and realised the potholes were just too dangerous for us, let alone people who don't cycle regularly. the strawberry community cycle event has been running since 2015 and attracts up to 400 people each year. there are four routes to choose from, ra

it did feel quite tone deaf to a lot of people in uxbridge and in the labour party.nk this is why it has become a bit of a row. unfortunately it seems that this is kind of grown beyond the uxbridge by election and more broadly into green policies and the government are kinda viewing that and thinking, you we held onto uxbridge because of unhappiness of some of these policies that people felt we were moving too quickly or were to indent to a tone deaf. perhaps this is a new area on things more broadly like insulation on homes and where they have to have a certain level of efficiency by 2028. are these areas where we can roll back slightly, roll back on our pledges towards net to try to bring in the votes that they know they are haemorrhaging for the next election. 0ne haemorrhaging for the next election. one of our panelists called the green lash last week, which is not a bad term for it. we have seen it in the recent spanish election with parties on the right to want to roll back some of these commitments making some ground. i mean, a lot of the political argument on

the result in uxbridge is giving conservative mps a bit more of a spring in their step.a low emissions zone which is a much disliked scheme which is being expanded into the outer ring of london and to the question that mps, conservative mps, are asking themselves is can that be then turned into something which works on national issue, a national level, around the cost of living and can they persuade people that labour would add money to your bills miss similarly, what lessons can be drawn from the selby when? people are saying there was a low turnout there from conservative voters, annoyed at the fact that a by—election was being called at all. there are extraneous circumstances that wouldn't be at play in a general election, i do think it is still quite difficult to say with any great certainty what this means a year or so out from a general election when the whole country is going to the polls. tt election when the whole country is going to the polls.— going to the polls. it won't stop us askint , going to the polls. it won't stop us asking. though- — going to the poll

let's head first to north west london, to uxbridge and south ruislip.eensmead sports centre — no badminton or basketball tonight, but nocturnal arithmetic. this seat was held by one boris johnson, the former prime minister, until he packed it in after mps concluded he'd lied to them. it's a long time conservative seat but labour have had their eyes on it for a while and will face awkward questions if they don't win. next, we can zip 200 miles up the a1 to north yorkshire, to selby and ainsty. the former mp — a conservative — is a friend of borisjohnson�*s and also packed it in around the time he did. anotherfamiliar scene. another familiar scene. lots of piles of paper and elastic bands. this is how things look at selby leisure centre? — where counters are on the lionel richie shift — all night long. it may well be getting light before the result here. this is a conservative seat with a whopping majority, but labour feel chipper here too. winning here for keir starmer would be a massive moment. and finally to the west country — to somerton and frome. an
