Will the Tories lose the true-blue constituency of Tiverton and Honiton?

Thursday’s by-election comes after the former MP Neil Parish resigned after being caught watching pornography in the House of Commons.

With just a few days until the Tiverton and Honiton by-election on 23 June, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by the New Statesman’s business editor and Devonian Will Dunn, who has returned from a reporting trip to the south-west constituency.

They discuss how cost of living is the big issue on the doorstep, why the Lib Dems have a mountain to climb to win the seat, and why the Labour candidate feels a bit miffed about being ignored.
