Five seats were contested on Thursday, with two additional by-elections held in Derbyshire on Tuesday. In those earlier elections, the Greens finally got a result they could truly celebrate, with an impressive gain from Reform. Tuesday was a mixed evening for Reform, with the party gaining from Labour in the other seat. These were also the first electoral outings for Ben Habib's Advance UK, with mixed results. They did not have a particularly damaging effect on Reform in either seat, but this could change over time.
Labour lost to Reform again on Thursday, losing a seat in north Wales. Their vote share was down across the board, finishing last in Norfolk and pushed into distant third by Reform in an embarrassing result north of the border.
Despite their gain on Tuesday, the Greens failed to impress elsewhere and their vote share was down in the four other seats the party contested. This included two wooden spoons that included a particularly disastrous result in which they lost a seat to the Lib Dems.
It was a better week for the Tories, despite the notion of their looming demise gaining traction. They managed to hold onto two seats, in spite of a decreased vote share in both. Straws clutched.
