  • Labour have won the Blackpool South by-election after a huge swing from the Tories who narrowly avoided finishing in third place to Reform UK.
    The by-election was triggered after The Times revealed that Scott Benton, the former MP, had offered to lobby ministers in exchange for money.
    It marks the eleventh by-election defeat for the Conservatives since the last general election, on a night which has also seen a series of key councils fall to Labour.

      The Tory’s have always trashed the country when in power. The Office of Statistics released evidence this year to prove no Tory government try’s to save the country. They always steal from the poor to give to the rich.

      If Labour are still the same party as back in 2010, that is still a million times better than the Tories have been. As soon as the Tories came in we got a failed economic experiment that we're still paying for. Literally.

      I agree immigration needs sorting , the Tory’s have a net migration of 400000 per year last 5 years , under labour it averaged under 10000 ….. as for costs the asylum seekers cost this country £6 million per day , to put that in context the uk Tory govt algae added on average £500 million PER DAY for the last 14 years , so asylum seekers cost just over 1% in comparison, yes it needs sorting but this is not anywhere near the main reasons the decline we have seen last 14 years
