| Title | Labour Pain: Why Green win in bypolls is a major red flag for Keir Starmer | Source | Times of India |
| Description |
 The numbers alone capture the scale of Labour’s collapse. The Greens secured 14,980 votes, representing 40.7 percent of the electorate. Reform UK came second with 10,578 votes, or 28.7 percent. Labour was pushed into third place with just 9,364 votes, amounting to 25.4 percent. The Conservatives, once Labour’s primary rival, were reduced to a marginal presence with only 1,721 votes, or 4.7 percent. Turnout stood at 47.6 percent, indicating a serious electoral contest rather than a fringe protest. What had been a Labour majority exceeding 13,000 votes at the last general election was erased within a single parliamentary term.
