Wakefield by-election: Labour wins back red wall seat from Tories.

Labour has won the Wakefield by-election with 13,166 votes - a majority of 4,925 - taking the traditional red wall seat back from the Conservatives.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said voters have returned to his party because it "was talking to them and for them" - dismissing claims the result was driven by 'protest votes' against the Tories.

Sky's Liz Bates reports.
