Labour has won the Blackpool South parliamentary by-election, with Chris Webb securing 10,825 votes, a majority of 7,607.
The contest was triggered by the resignation of former Tory MP Scott Benton following a lobbying scandal.
The Tories avoided the humiliation of coming third in Blackpool South, but finished just 117 votes ahead of Reform UK.
