“Any unnecessary by-election is always a risk. Uh, it’s the voters who have their say, but like any by-election that is called for whatever reason, I want Labour to win. Uh, I want to see a Labour MP for that seat, and that’s what we’ll all be working for between now and polling day and the by-election… The sitting MP chose to resign. That’s always a risk to do. But now that it’s been called, we will fight to win the by-election for Labour.”
