In more defection without a by-election news, we have this where a Reform councillor is defecting to the Conservatives:

Councillor who defected from Reform told to resign

Whilst it is Labour that have called for the resignation, and therefore a by-election, the Reform UK councillor Cameron Anderson said voters would "now feel a great sense of dissatisfaction and injustice" so it is good to see that all parties are starting to recognise the issue, even if it is only when it impacts their party...

Yours,
