Moment Labour’s Damien Egan wins Kingswood by election: ’Tories sucked hope out of our country’
Damien Egan has won the Kingswood by-election, overturning a 11,200 majority held by the Conservatives to give Labour a further boost ahead of the general election.
The by-election took place after former Tory MP Chris Skidmore stood down in protest at the government’s plan to boost oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
Mr Egan’s win, beating Tory candidate Sam Bromiley by 2,501 votes, was not a great surprise locally for a seat last held by Labour in 2005.
