Voters head to polls in three by-elections
By-elections are being held in three constituencies today, following the resignation of three Conservative MPs.
By-elections are taking place in Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Selby and Ainsty and Somerton and Frome.
The Uxbridge seat is vacant due to the resignation of former prime minister Boris Johnson. Johnson won a 7,000 majority there at the last general election in 2019.
Nigel Adams stood down from his Selby and Ainsty seat shortly after Boris Johnson resigned. He had previously won with a 20,000 majority.
David Warburton vacated his Somerton and Frome seat after admitting to taking cocaine.
Polls are open from 07:00 to 22:00. Many have speculated that despite previously high majorities, the Conservatives could lose all three.
