Chris Webb has been elected as the new Labour MP for Blackpool South, marking a significant victory for the Labour Party. Webb, a local candidate born and bred in Blackpool, received widespread support from both lifelong Labour voters and former Conservative supporters. The by-election, held on Thursday, May 2, 2024, resulted in a historic 26% swing from the Conservatives to Labour, one of the largest swings in a by-election since World War II. This victory is seen as a direct challenge to the current Conservative government and a testament to the progress under Labour leader Keir Starmer.
