Default Stoke and Copeland by-elections
Both announced in the next few hours with Labour hoping to hold both seats. Looks like Labour have held Stoke but Copeland is less sure. Would be the first time the opposition party has lost a seat in a by election for 35 years.

This Week by election special on now on BBC One

Might be an early night.
Question time were saying it looks like labour has held on to both seats.
we will have to wait and see.
Shocking if they don't hold on to either of them really as they have since year dot.

I'm surprised Dimbleby said that about Copeland because everything else I've seen is talking about Tory optimism

Yeah, I was even more surprised at Mr Carswells defeatist attitude as well.

Come on let's have a Tory gain! Stoke ruining themselves into the ground if Labour hold the seat.

I have no sympathy for Stoke if Labour win. Labour have been the MP since 1950 and by the looks of Stoke there's been no development since then. The candidate said he wanted a second EU referendum when Stoke voted 70% to Leave. But let's vote Labour because they stick for us working class! Dream on...

Stoke was ~70% Leave in the referendum but then it's been a safe Labour seat for so long and Ukip have had a pretty bad campaign

Nuttall has been an embarrassment, especially considering he's meant to be UKIP's party leader
