Labour have won the Tamworth by-election overturning a Conservative majority of more than 19,000 votes.

Sarah Edwards' margin of victory over her Conservative rival, Andrew Cooper, was 1,316 votes with a 35.95% turnout.

She said the people of Tamworth had "voted for Labour's positive vision" and sent a clear message to Rishi Sunak and the government that it was "time for change".

The by-election was held after the resignation of MP Chris Pincher.
