As well as Sarah Pochin overturning a large Labour majority to clinch the Runcorn and Helsby by-election by just six votes, Dame Andrea Jenkyns comfortably won the election in Greater Lincolnshire to give Reform its first mayor.

Plans to fit almost all new homes in England with solar panels will make it harder for the Government to hit its target of building 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament, The i Paper has been told.

Politics: it’s a funny old game
Wonder what odds you'd have got six years ago on a Keir Starmer-led government signing Brexit-enabled trade deals with Modi's India and Trump's America while the Tories and Reform complain (at least about the former).
