About This Trend

Runcorn refers to a town in Cheshire, England, and is also the name of a parliamentary constituency, Runcorn and Helsby.

The Runcorn and Helsby by-election is trending due to the unexpected win of Reform UK candidate Sarah Pochin by just six votes, beating the Labour party and marking a significant blow to Sir Keir Starmer's premiership, with Nigel Farage's party gaining its first seat from Labour in a closely watched contest. .
