Triple blow for UK PM Boris Johnson as Tory chief quits after by-election defeats

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson suffered a triple blow following crushing defeats for his Conservative Party in two important by-elections that also prompted the resignation of the party's chairman and one of his close allies, raising another major challenge to the embattled premier's leadership. The triple blow comes as the Tories lost Wakefield in the north of England to the Opposition Labour Party and Tiverton and Honiton in southern England went to the Liberal Democrats overnight on Thursday. Both polls were seen as a de facto referendum on 58-year-old Johnson’s leadership of the party and as UK PM in the wake of the partygate scandal of COVID law-breaching parties under his watch at Downing Street.
