Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party narrowly wins Runcorn parliamentary seat
Nigel Farage's populist, right-wing Reform UK party won a parliamentary seat in northwest England on Friday by the smallest ever margin in a parliamentary by-election in the country's history.
Reform's Sarah Pochin beat Labour's candidate by just six votes. Runcorn and Helsby had previously been a safe Labour seat with the party winning more than half the area's votes in last year's national election.
