First, Carole Walker has the news. Boris johnsons working parliamentary majority has been reduced to just one after the conservatives lost the previously safe seat of brecon and radnorshire to the liberal democrats. A by election was called after the sitting tory mp was convicted of making a false expenses claim. The lib dems won by just over m00 votes. Liberal democrats are winning again, and this by election victory shows that the people of brecon and radnorshire not only have a first class mp injane dodds, but they have shown the people of britain that we can do better than the choice on offer between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn. The Emergency Services have been working through the night to try and divert water away from a Reservoir Dam in derbyshire, which is in danger of bursting and flooding a town.

Hes only been Prime Minister for a little over a week, saw his parliamentary majority cut tojust one. The conservatives lost the brecon and radnorshire by election to the liberal democrats. You can see the number of votes for each party on the screen. Hopefully the lib dems overturning a majority of over 8,000 to beat the conservatives by more than 1,400 votes. We dont have the graphics, those are the numbers. 0ther pro remain parties had stood aside to give the lib dems a better chance of winning. Turnout was almost 60 , the highest for a by election for over 20 years. It was also not a great night for the labour party, who were beaten into fourth place by the brexit party, and narrowly avoided losing their deposit which happens if you get less than 5 of the vote. On a walkabout in the constituency this morning, the new mp, jane dodds, said her constituents had chosen hope over fear. 34 3a years ago last month, Richard Livesey stood here celebrating a by election victory just like livesey stood here celebrating a by election victoryjust like this one. A by election victory that would restore the liberal values that we have all fought so hard for to this country. Anterior stand, and here we stand, boasting Boris Johnsons bubble in the first week of his premiership. Speaking in brecon among party activists, liberal democrats leaderjo swinson said that the party was winning again. Liberal democrats have a vision for a cleaner, safer, Richer Country in the European Union. And as leader of the European Union. And as leader of the liberal democrats i will fight to keep our country in the European Union, and we now have in Parliament One more mp who will fight to make that happen, jane dodds will be a sparse representative for brecon and radnorshire and potentially a key vote and cutting borisjohnsons majority to just one. For their part the conservatives have been talking down the scale of the defeat. 0ur Political Correspondent pete saull is in westminster. I guess any party would . It is all expectation management and looking at the positives in every situation. It is quite quiet in westminster, many mps are ransom a holiday, but they will come back at the start of september and we expect a series of knife edge vote again over brexit. Why this is important for the conservatives, the governments working majority is down to one, meaning it only takes one conservative mp to rebel for them to lose a vote. There are some former tory mps facing criminal allegations, they will continue to vote with the government, and to labour mps have traditionally voted with the government when it comes to brexit, but nevertheless it highlights the scale of the challenge faced by the new Prime Minister, particularly he might face a vote of no confidence in Early September and then some votes on brexit as well. This point was put to the conservative Party ChairmanJames Cleverly on bbc breakfast earlier. The simple truth is that, as we have seen over the last six to 12 months, whether it is a majority of one, two or three is largely irrelevant. How is it irrelevant, if anyone decides to leave. |j irrelevant. How is it irrelevant, if anyone decides to leave. I was about to explain. Go on, then. The house has rejected the withdrawal agreement, specifically because of the backstop. If the backstop can be removed, then democracy can win out and we can leave with a deal. But thatis and we can leave with a deal. But that is not really dependent on the numbers, whether it is one, two or three. James cleverly putting forward what the governments intentions are for the coming months, to negotiate toe reopen negotiations with the European Union, to remove the backstop, to remove border checks on the island of ireland from the agreement negotiated by theresa may, and hopefully for us to leave on time on 0ctober hopefully for us to leave on time on october 31, but if they cant do that, to take us out without an agreement. Even if they were to remove the backstop, i think there is no guarantee it will get through the house of commons. It has a greater chance of getting through, but many brexit supporting conservative mps do not like other aspects of the withdrawal agreement. And bearing in mind the various factions and other parties as well who may vote along the lines to try to stop the government in its tracks. We have a brand new Prime Minister facing tracks. We have a brand new Prime Ministerfacing many tracks. We have a brand new Prime Minister facing many of the same challenges as theresa may. For now, pete, thank you very much. We can speak now to chris bryant, a welsh labourmp, and Christine Jardine from the liberal democrats. We did ask the conservatives if we could speak to a front bench minister, as well as trying to find a back bench mp ourselves, but no one was available to come on. Ifi if i can start with you, christine, obviously congratulations on the victory. 30 say it was not a landslide . It was a 1096 swing, more than 10 , way from the conservatives who went into this with an 8000 majority, so i do not think we should underestimate the scale of the success here that jane has managed to win this seat. On the doors in brecon, i have been a couple of times during the election, and there was a feeling that simply people wanted a different approach. Very positive on the doors, which we 110w very positive on the doors, which we now see was a victory, this is a big swing to us and shows we are still and will continue to be the leading remain party. You did really throw the kitchen sink at eight, and given that it was not a very large majority, wasnt it the remain alliance that won it . The conservative party can make excuses for losing, which they do increasingly. What they need to do is look at what people are saying, which is they do not like the style of politics, the confrontational approach, they want Something Different and better, which is what we are demanding. The liberal democrats demands better style of politics, a better approach, a better solution to the brexit problem than the conservatives are offering. They can buy tactics, but until the conservatives look at what people are saying, they will not get out of this mess. Given you have 13 mps, arent you concerned that it is not a significant forcing parliament . Every voice is significant in parliament. The conservatives only have a majority of one, it would just take one conservative mp to vote against them, as you havejust conservative mp to vote against them, as you have just heard. Conservative mp to vote against them, as you havejust heard. We conservative mp to vote against them, as you have just heard. We are 110w them, as you have just heard. We are now the loudest voice for remain, we are leading the movement to get this country back on an even 13, to improve our politics and get it away from this confrontational labour versus conservative thing we have had for a century and get to a modern situation where every voice is heard and you have a variety of parties coming up with solutions. A different style of politics, but the priority has to be sorting out this brexit mess. Let me interrupt you and bring in chris, christine mentioned a majority of one, it would not take much to overturn that. The party of remain, they are calling it. As labour, you had to be disappointed . Congratulations to jane dodds, i knowl disappointed . Congratulations to jane dodds, i know i would much have preferred if tom davies had taken the seat but i look forward to working with her in parliament that there are many things we would want to agree with, and my commiserations to agree with, and my commiserations to chris davies. He did something silly but i feel for him. For the tories to put up the same candidate again, was that perhaps not the wisest . Maybe, but there were quite a lot of people in the constituency who felt chris was a good representative. The biggest problem for the labour party as we nearly lost deposit, i am glad did not. That its quite embarrassing, labour beaten into fourth place by the brexit party . I get that, some others have said for quite some time that one of the problem is about trying to be all things to all men and women is nobody ends up liking what you are offering. Do you think it was the ambiguity . what you are offering. Do you think it was the ambiguity . I think of a constructive ambiguity has not helped us over the last two years, we have tried to say we are in favour of brexit to brexit micro vote rs favour of brexit to brexit micro voters but that we are in favour of remain to remain supporters. I am fundamentally a remainer and believe it to be in the interest of wales and our country that at the very least we should try and achieve a soft as brexiters possible to continue trading with europe. Soft as brexiters possible to continue trading with europelj soft as brexiters possible to continue trading with europe. Ijust wa nt to continue trading with europe. Ijust want to go back to christine, we talked about a remain alliance model, could that be used again and would you want to include labour . Chris is here with open ears . Chris knows this, we will work with people with the same names as us, we are happy to do that, the remain alliance did work here and it is important that we realise there is 110w important that we realise there is now a movement of people who want to get the country out of this brexit mess, and were happy to work with anyone who will come and join us and we are moving forward and we think we are moving forward and we think we wa nt we are moving forward and we think we want a positive from this. Christine, can i break a secret that we have occasionally been enabling together and talked about ways of achieving things . Occasionally beenin achieving things . Occasionally been in room together. I think many vote rs been in room together. I think many voters would have heard were spending 2. 1 billion p on a no deal brexit and would have gone, cant we spend that on the local health we are spending chinook billion. We have somebody at the head of government who promised us all that extra money for the nhs. Now there is an extra 2 billion. And we even have tories. I would love to put that to them, but nobody would come on. You have been enabling together. That stance disturbing, it is not meant to be bet that sounds disturbing. Christine, the new push for a no confidence vote in september . We have already suggested that, we asked Jeremy Corbyn to support it because it has to come from the official opposition. Support it because it has to come from the official oppositionm Jeremy Corbyn pushes porridge, will support it . Yes, jo has already asked him to lay a confidence motion, we put forward an early day motion, we put forward an early day motion saying there should be a vote of no confidence. Motion saying there should be a vote of noconfidence. It feels like the government is planning directly towards a no deal brexit, they had not even open negotiations tuck i am getting to it they havent opened negotiations with the germans, french or anybody. Enthusiast will not get us through this, i would be amazed if we did not table a motion iio amazed if we did not table a motion no confidence. An age does not necessarily mean there will be one. I have been amazed by lots of things in the past few years. Should Jeremy Corbyn commit to bringing in a vote of no confidence in september . would not announce what i am going to do in september in the middle of august. To his own Party Members . You cantjust august. To his own Party Members . You cant just announce august. To his own Party Members . You cantjust announce secretly august. To his own Party Members . You cant just announce secretly to Party Members. Would you like to announce a much clearer position in brexit . We have a clear position on brexit, we will campaign for whatever deal or no deal, we cannot possibly leave the eu without putting that version of events back to the british people so they can have the final say, and in that we will campaign for remain, that is unambiguously labours position. You think the opportunity for a further referendum exists . Of course, and i hope the labour party, along with allies and other parties, will want to make that happen. And as a welsh mp, yesterday, hearing the idea we will be burning 38,000 sheep carcassesjust made me think. If no deal happens. Thank you. carcassesjust made me think. If no deal happens. Thank you. I will give the last word to christine. knew that chris is a remainer at heart and believes with us that there should be another referendum, this time on the final say on the detail, people now know exactly as chris said that the welsh farming industry and family across the country could be in serious trouble if we come out of the European Union without a deal with the proposed deal, and the thought of burning all those carcasses, of land being on a 40 tariff, it is terrifying. Of bmb 40 tariff, it is terrifying. Of lamb being. It affects us all. We will have to leave it there, but thank you both very much. And congratulations once again in wales. Thank you. Keep your comments coming. This comes from susanna, lib dems have a lwa ys comes from susanna, lib dems have always won cancelled, nothing new. There are many more, keep them coming in.
