Labour clutch victory from the jaws of defeat by holding Batley and Spen. But what does this mean for both Labour and the Conservatives going forward? Christopher Hope is joined by Telegraph colleagues Camilla Tominey and Tony Diver to weigh up whether the Matt Hancock incident saved Sir Keir Starmer's job, and why the Prime Minister isn't "inoculated from electoral defeat", despite the success of the vaccine rollout.
Plus Tory party Co-chair Amanda Milling on why she thinks the by-election wasn't a true Labour win, and why she thinks school "bubbles" need to be banished as soon as possible to stop children from unnecessarily missing days in the classroom.
Finally, ERG chairman Mark Francois doesn't mince his words over the so-called "sausage wars" around the Northern Ireland protocol, and reveals why the Northern Ireland Secretary isn't in his good books.
