Labour has taken Tamworth from the Conservatives in a historic by-election victory for Sir Keir Starmer’s party.
The seat in Staffordshire has been held by the Tories since 2010, with the last election seeing the party secure a majority of almost 20,000.
But it was left vacant by former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher, who quit parliament following allegations he groped two men at a private members club in London.
Labour’s win is the largest Conservative majority overturned by the party at a by-election since 1945.
