It is three years since the Tories last gained a seat at a by-election.
Labour’s Chris Webb has become the 11th person to win a by-election seat from the Conservatives since the 2019 general election
Here is a full breakdown of the Tories’ by-election scorecard so far this parliament, which now stands at 11 defeats, one gain and three holds.The first defeat came in the Buckinghamshire constituency of Chesham & Amersham, in a by-election triggered by the death of the sitting Conservative MP Dame Cheryl Gillan.
The by-election was triggered when the sitting Tory MP Owen Paterson resigned after he had been found to have breached House of Commons rules by engaging in paid lobbying. The by-election was prompted by the resignation of sitting MP Neil Parish after he admitted watching pornography on his mobile phone in the House of Commons.The Selby & Ainsty by-election in North Yorkshire was triggered by the resignation of sitting Tory MP Nigel Adams, who had a majority of 20,137, and saw Labour win the seat on a swing of 23.7 percentage points.
This was yet another contest prompted by the resignation of the sitting MP, in this case Chris Pincher, who won a majority of 19,634 in 2019 but who stood down after a Commons inquiry upheld allegations of sexual assault.Labour overturned a majority of 11,220 to win this Gloucestershire seat, achieving a swing of 16.4 percentage points: lower than some of the huge swings it enjoyed in previous by-elections, but comfortably above the 11.4 percentage points it needed.
