Reform UK's newest MP Sarah Pochin has promised to serve all of the people of Runcorn and Helsby following her by-election victory. Following a dramatic recount, former Conservative councillor Pochin took the Cheshire constituency by just six votes, wiping out Labour's majority of more than 14,000 from last year's general election.

Keir Starmer insisted he 'gets' voter anger today after Nigel Farage triggered a political earthquake by seizing Runcorn & Helsby in a dramatic by-election. The PM said he wanted to go 'further and faster on the change that people want to see' as 'disappointing' results show a huge Reform surge.
