By-elections: Boris Johnson vows to ‘keep going’ despite Tory humiliation and Oliver Dowden quitting

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “By-elections: Boris Johnson vows to ‘keep going’ despite Tory humiliation and Oliver Dowden quitting” – below is their description.

Boris Johnson vowed to ‘keep going’ today despite Tory chair Oliver Dowden dramatically quitting after the party suffered a double by-election pummelling.

The PM said he would ‘listen’ after seismic results in Tiverton and Wakefield, but tried to play down the huge blows as a difficult ‘patch’ for the government.

However, Mr Johnson – who is more than 4,000 miles away at a Commonwealth summit in Rwanda – is facing a fresh threat to his position after Mr Dowden walked out saying he shared the ‘distress’ of activists about the run of bad results.
