Where by-elections are taking place and what time results are expected as Tories brace for losses

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Three by-elections are taking place across England today - and they could result in Rishi Sunak's government losing three seats in Parliament.

Labour hopes to snatch Uxbridge and South Ruislip, which was Boris Johnson’s seat until he quit, and Selby and Ainsty – vacated by his ally Nigel Adams’ resignation.

The Liberal Democrats, meanwhile, are eying victory in the contest in Somerton and Frome that was triggered by David Warburton quitting after admitting cocaine use amid allegations of sexual harassment.

Losses for the Tories in all of them would be the first time in 55 years that a government has been defeated in three by-elections on the same day.
