Results are due overnight after voters went to the polls in two seats after the sitting MPs resigned.
A flurry of political reaction is coming in, with Pat McFadden, the party's national campaign coordinator, praising both candidates in the Tamworth, Staffordshire, and Mid Bedfordshire seats. “Our campaigns have focused ruthlessly on the issues that matter to local people: tackling crime, bringing down NHS waiting lists and addressing the cost of living,' he says.
'We’ve spoken to thousands of local people who are fed up with this chaotic, distracted Tory Party that does nothing but lurch from crisis to crisis. “But we have known all along that winning these seats would be a long shot, with huge majorities to overturn.
