COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 29.05.25


Four seats were up for grabs this week - two in Essex, one in Sussex and one in south Wales.  Reform scored a sensational gain from Labour in the latter, with a huge swing from a standing start.  Reform were newcomers in all four contests, gaining an independent seat in Essex and finishing second place in the other two seats.

Labour stood in three seats, including a humiliating last place finish in East Sussex where they garnered just 23 votes.

  1. How can anyone vote libdem. They’re worse than both labour and conservative. They’ll create more immigration than either labour or conservative.
