Bracknell’s MP has reacted to the Labour’s drubbing in the Hartlepool by-election and the Local Elections 2021 more broadly. James Sunderland, the MP for Bracknell since 2019, also voiced serious concern over the result in Scotland, and made an emotional plea for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and fellow Conservatives to ‘save the Union’. He said: “I’ve always been quite clear, do not underestimate the enemy. I won’t be slagging off Labour publicly, because it’s not my problem to do that, we’ve got our own problems. I think you should respect your opponent and I those your up against.
