Today, Nigel Farage’s Reform party have won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election by just six votes – one of the closest parliamentary elections ever. Sarah Pochin overturned Labour’s large majority to become Reform’s fifth MP after a recount.
Elsewhere, Reform wins its first mayoral election in Greater Lincolnshire, and Labour narrowly holds three mayoral races in North Tyneside, the West of England, and Doncaster – with Reform second in all three.
This is still an emerging picture, with plenty more results to come.
Adam is joined by Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg – as well as Richard Fuller from the Conservatives, Luke Pollard from Labour, Adrian Ramsay from the Greens and Daisy Cooper from the Lib Dems.
