Britain's Labour opposition has won 2 big prizes in special elections_我的网站

A |     LONDON -- Britain's main opposition Labour Party has decisively won two special elections, snatching seats in Parliament that were long rock-solid bastions of the governing Conservatives.Results early Friday showed that voters in Tamworth, central England, and Mid-Bedfordshire, north of London, switched from Conservatives to Labour in almost unprecedented numbers, solidifying Labour's status as front-runner ahead of a national election next year.Labour leader Keir Starmer claimed his party was “redrawing the political map.” Labour candidate Sarah Edwards took Tamworth, where the Conservatives won by almost 20,000 votes in 2019, and Labour's Alistair Strathern took Mid-Bedfordshire by overturning a 25,000-vote Tory margin.John Curtice, a polling expert at the University of Strathclyde, said the “exceptional swings” to Labour could be compared to the collapse in Conservative support under Prime Minister John Major in the 1990s.“And we all know how that ended," he said — in a landslide 1997 election victory for Labour under Tony Blair.Others cautioned that turnout in Thursday's voting was low, and the elections were unusual because they replaced lawmakers who both resigned under a cloud.Tamworth legislator Chris Pincher quit after Parliament’s standards watchdog recommended he be suspended for “completely inappropriate” behavior after groping two men at a London private members’ club. Then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’ s reluctance to sanction Pincher when the allegations emerged helped trigger Johnson’s ouster at the hands of his own party last year.Mid-Bedfordshire member of Parliament Nadine Dorries resigned over the treatment of Johnson and her own failure to be appointed to Parliament’s upper chamber, the House of Lords. Dorries is a strong ally of Johnson who has blamed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for helping to topple the former leader.Conservative Party chairman Greg Hands blamed the losses on “legacy issues” and said people were “happy with the job Rishi Sunak is doing as prime minister.” The results add to pressure on the governing party, which has lost several byelections since Sunak took office just under a year ago. He replaced Liz Truss, who announced her resignation a year ago Friday after her plan for unfunded tax cuts sent financial markets into turmoil and rocked the economy.Truss spent just seven weeks in office after winning a party leadership contest to replace Boris Johnson, who quit after three years in office when scandals over money and ethics turned party lawmakers against him.Sunak steadied the economy but has not managed to boost the party’s rating in opinion polls, where it consistently lags between 10 and 20 points behind Labour. A national election must be called by the end of 2024.Friday's results confirm polls showing the Conservatives are losing support across the country, from affluent southern voters turned off by Brexit to working-class northern voters who switched from Labour in 2019 after Johnson promised to spread prosperity to long-neglected areas.。    8月18日，宿州市第二十届“福泽江淮·彩惠民生”关工民政福彩捐资助学仪式在市民政局举行。本次活动使用30万元市级福彩公益金，为当地100名品学兼优、家庭困难的2026级大学新生每人发放助学金3000元。活动由宿州关工委、民政局、福利彩票发行中心联合主办，市委老干部局、市教体局、团市委协办。受助学生代表在发言中表示，将心怀感恩、志存高远，把个人理想融入国家发展和家乡建设，努力成长为堪当大任的时代新人，并积极传递爱心，让公益精神薪火相传。作为全市民政系统品牌公益项目，截至2025年该活动已累计资助学子1700余人，投入公益金近600万元。项目始终秉承“民政为民、民政爱民”理念，持续赋能青年成长，已成为宿州市民生关爱和育才兴学的重要暖心工程。福彩公益金是民政民生事业的重要支撑。自1988年宿州市发行福利彩票以来，全市累计筹集公益金15.4亿元，留存部分全部用于养老服务、残障帮扶、未成年人保护、社会救助等领域，兜牢了宿州民生保障。市民政局相关负责人表示，将进一步拓展福彩公益金在养老服务、困难救助、未成年人保护等民生领域的保障范围，用心用情解决好困难群众急难愁盼问题，把党和政府的温暖传递到千家万户。(刘楠楠）。
