Tory MPs in those 'red wall' seats in the north of England will be even more despondent about their prospects at the next general election after this crushing defeat.
This wasn't just a bad result for the Conservatives and Rishi Sunak, it was a disaster. The Tory share of the vote in the City of Chester by-election slumped to just 22.4%.
It was also the worst result for the Conservatives in Chester since 1832. Spare a thought for the poor hapless Tory candidate Liz Wardlaw, who saw Labour's majority leap from just over 6,000 to nearly 11,000.
