In Kingswood in south Gloucestershire, where the Conservatives were defending a majority of over 11,000, Labour won with a swing of over 16%.

And in the Northamptonshire seat of Wellingborough, Labour overturned a Conservative majority of over 18,000. The swing of over 28% was the second-highest Conservative-to-Labour swing in any by-election since World War Two.
