The four by-elections held on Thursday were the last to be held before next week's watered down local elections in England. Barely ten per cent of England's council seats will be up for grabs next Thursday, with nine councils having their scheduled elections postponed. However, there will be six regional mayors elected, plus the hotly anticipated Westminster by-election for Runcorn and Helsby.
Three of the four vacancies on Thursday were held by incumbents, while Reform won a seat at the first time of asking in West Sussex.
