COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 08.05.25


Just the two seats up for grabs this week, following last week's stunning set of elections for Reform UK.  Reform continued their good form by taking a Yorkshire seat from Labour, again coming from a standing start to push Labour into second.  The swing towards Reform also damaged the Tory candidate, who finished last.
