Knife-edge Runcorn by-election

Reform UK won its first Parliamentary by-election, taking Runcorn and Helsby from Labour by just six votes after a recount
Reform candidate Sarah Pochin got 38.7% of the vote. The Conservatives came a distant third, with the Green Party fourth

Reform won its first mayoral contest, with former Tory MP Dame Andrea Jenkyns getting 42% of the vote in Greater Lincolnshire - a long way ahead of the Conservative candidate on 26%
The party gained its second mayor in Hull & East Yorkshire, where former boxer Luke Campbell got 36% of the vote, beating the Liberal Democrats into second place

In North Tyneside Labour held the mayoralty by just 444 votes
It was also a tight result in Doncaster, with Labour clinching victory over Reform by 698 votes
Labour also held on in the West of England mayoral contest, with a majority of 5,949, as the Tories were pushed into fourth place behind Reform and the Greens
But the party saw its share of the vote fall significantly as Reform came a close second in all three races
Labour also lost the mayoralty in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough to the Conservatives - a rare bright spot for the Tories

Reform UK has made big gains in council seats across England and has picked up more than 600 seats
The Conservatives have lost more than 600 seats and Labour - which was defending fewer seats - is down by more than 150
For the first time Reform UK has won control of councils - they are now in charge in Derbyshire, Durham, Kent, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire - all except Durham were taken from the Conservatives
It also made gains in Devon, Cornwall, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Northumberland - areas where no party holds the balance of power

The Liberal Democrats have boosted their overall number of seats by more than 150 so far, making gains in Devon, Cornwall, Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire
They have taken control of Shropshire from the Conservatives and Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire which were previously under no overall control
The party has won course to win more seats than the Conservatives
The Green Party has made some gains, winning seats in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, however it suffered disappointment in the West of England mayoral race where it came third to Reform UK and Labour

There are three councils yet to declare: Buckinghamshire, North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire
