Lichfield Curborough in July is the only Labour gain from Conservative so far since the main May elections A surprising stat, though to some degree this is because there simply haven't been that many possibilities turning up. Quite a few tricky Labour defences, though. |

Those figures are consistent with this thread with the exception that electionmapsuk includes 5 contests for 9 seats that were countermanded ahead of 3 May and are therefore deferred elections rather than by-elections. |
