Here’s everything you need to know:

We now know a by-election is set to take place in Runcorn & Helsby. Labour won this constituency in the general election, Reform UK came second and the Tories a close third.

We’re campaigning to win, but here’s the reality: every pound we spend fighting this by-election is a pound we can’t invest in the local elections. And unless we raise enough money now, we’ll have to make tough choices about where we put our resources in the days ahead.

That’s why early donations matter so much – they enable us to make strategic investments with plenty of time to spare.

The more we can raise in these first few days, the more we can do to ensure that our by-election candidate and our local elections candidates get all the resources they need — and the stronger our campaign will be in Runcorn & Helsby.

Reform UK and the Tories will throw everything at this by-election — we need to do the same. If you can, John xxxxxx, will you be one of the first to chip in with an emergency donation to our by-election reserve fund? Every pound counts.

* £23 is our average donation
