The Conservatives have achieved their first by-election gain in 26 years, taking Crewe and Nantwich from Labour. Tory candidate Edward Timpson won 7,860 more votes than his Labour rival, overturning a 7,000 Labour majority at the general election - a 17.6% swing.
David Cameron said it was a "remarkable victory" and thousands of people had voted Conservative for the first time. Labour deputy Harriet Harman said it was a "bad result" but attributed it to voters' concerns about the economy.
