COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 18.12.25


There were five vacancies to fill in the final round of by-elections this year, with Labour defending a Lancashire seat.  They slumped to third as Reform surged into first place with more than twice the amount of Labour votes.  It was another good night for Reform, who obliterated the defending Conservatives in Suffolk, finishing with almost four times the number of Tory votes.  They also held in Cornwall.

Among the diabolical results for Labour was a tally of just nine votes in Cornwall.  They finished last or second to last in all but one of the five seats.

There are no further council by-elections scheduled until January 15.
