A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Runcorn and Helsby is expected in 2025.
The constituency's MP, Mike Amesbury, was sentenced on 24 February 2025 to ten weeks in prison for assault, which was reduced on appeal to a suspended sentence.
This would have triggered a recall petition, but Amesbury resigned his position on 17 March 2025.[1]
BBC bias
On 23 March 2025, Hussain Shafiei, National Election Coordinator for the Workers Party of Britain, complained on The Crispin Flintoff Show that the BBC had still not reported that WPGB's Peter Ford – the first to announce his candidacy – was standing in the by-election.[2]
