Byelection results live: Tories braced for losses as counting begins in three constituencies


Key events

Polls have closed in byelections

The polls have now closed in the byelections to choose a new MP in Somerton and Frome, Uxbridge and South Ruislip and Selby and Ainsty.

Voters had been able to cast their ballots from 7am on Thursday.

If the Conservatives suffer three defeats, Rishi Sunak could become the first prime minister since Harold Wilson in 1968 to lose a trio of byelections in a single day.

We are in the last few minutes of voting in three byelections in England in a significant test of Rishi Sunak’s premiership.

They are being held in the south-western Tory stronghold of Somerton and Frome in Somerset, Boris Johnson’s old seat in the west London suburbs Uxbridge and South Ruislip and Selby and Ainsty, North Yorkshire, which was triggered by Nigel Adams’s resignation last month.
