Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has secured victory by six votes over Labour in Runcorn and Helsby as British prime minister Keir Starmer failed his first by-election test as the country’s leader.
The narrow victory for new MP Sarah Pochin saw Reform taking a constituency which Labour won with a majority of almost 14,700 less than 12 months ago.
