Voting is underway in Wakefield and Tiverton & Honiton for Thursday’s crucial by-elections, which could see Conservative Party candidates routed in both constituencies, a rare double-defeat in prospect not seen since the Second World War.
Sir Keir Starmer is hoping to reclaim the “red wall” West Yorkshire seat for Labour after it fell to the Tories in 2019 for the first time since 1932 while, in Devon, the Liberal Democrats are hoping to cause a major upset and have claimed the polls are “neck and neck”.
