Labour made gains from the Tories and UKIP on another busy night of council by-elections.

Jeremy Corbyn’s party took seats from the government in Hertsmere, north of London, and from UKIP in Adur in Lancing on the south coast.

Overall Labour ended the night up two seats and with the Tories and UKIP each down one, according to BritainElects.

Angela Rayner, shadow education secretary, wrote on Twitter: “Superb results last night for Labour we hold Crewe East & Claremont Salford. Gain Borehamwood Kenilworth from Tories & Mash Barn (Adur) from UKIP.”

UKIP’s vote plunged in several wards while in three seats it failed to put up a candidate despite doing so at the last election.

The Redcar result was declared later on Friday morning.
