LONDON (Reuters) - The failure of Britain's Labour Party to take former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's old parliamentary seat in an election this week shows the opposition party still has a long way to go to win power, leader Keir Starmer said on Saturday.
Labour won a once safe Conservative parliamentary seat in northern England on the same day, but the narrow loss in Uxbridge and South Ruislip has given Prime Minister Rishi Sunak some breathing space as he seeks to reduce Labour's large poll lead before a national election expected next year.
