The Liberal Democrats have pulled off a stunning by-election victory, overturning a 16,000 majority in a seat that has always voted Conservative.
Leader Ed Davey celebrated by knocking over a wall of blue bricks, claiming his party was now the "main threat" to the Tories in many areas.
The party's candidate Sarah Green won by 8,028 votes from the Tories, with the Green Party in third place.
Labour had the worst by-election result in the party's history, with 622 votes.
The result is a major boost for the Liberal Democrats after their poor performance at the 2019 general election and brings their total number of MPs at Westminster to 12.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson described the result for his party as "disappointing".

How about getting a 17-year old girl pregnant? Would that do it?
Or is he now virtually 100% teflon coated and, no matter what bad he does, it won't make much difference?
Before election day, Edwards joked with reporters: "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy."
Edwards zinged Treen many times, once describing Treen as "so slow it takes him an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes."
During a gubernatorial debate in 1983, Treen asked Edwards, "How come you talk out of both sides of your mouth?" Edwards instantly responded, "So people like you with only half a brain can understand me."

To be fair the Lib Dems and Greens are parties that deal with local issues, and give policy ideas to the government of the day.
If Labour, who lost their deposit, want to do well they need to stop being tulip.
The way our parliament currently works, we could get shot of 90% of MPs and just vote for a party leader who then pulls together a cabinet to run the country for 4 years (like in the US), because that's how it works anyway.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Initially I read it he was saying they were the main threat nationally which is bunk, but it's perhaps fair to say that with Labour collapsing, LDs are the competition in individual constituencies. This one seems to be an HS2 protest vote.
The Tories are relaxing planning rules so their property developer mates can build all over the Chilterns (even though there are water issues in the SE)."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Well the LDs and LAbour are always complaining about the huge housing shortage... until the government wants to build some houses.
