Description
Labour's hopes ahead of the next general election have been bolstered after historic wins in the Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire by-elections.The double victory saw huge Conservative majorities overturned, with more than a 20 percent swing away from the Tories in both constituencies. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has used a rare Oval Office address to urge Americans to remember the country's role as "a beacon to the world" as he seeks Congress support for a $100bn aid package to Israel and Ukraine. Niall Paterson speaks to chief political correspondent Jon Craig to discuss if the national mood of Britain can be read from the results of the latest by-elections. He's also joined by Sky's defence and security analyst Michael Clarke to talk about the influence of an increased US military presence in the Middle East, and what might be the impact for Israel and Ukraine if the cash isn't approved.Senior podcast producer: Annie Joyce Podcast producer: Sydney Pead Interviews producer: Melissa Tutesigensi Promotion producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Wendy Parker
