Labour’s Ashley Dalton has won the West Lancashire by-election.

The vote was triggered when Labour veteran Rosie Cooper, who represented the seat for 17 years, resigned in November.

Labour was widely expected to comfortably retain the seat, having eased to victory by 8,336 votes in the 2019 general election.

The result, announced in the early hours of Friday, was Labour’s third by-election victory in recent months.
