Mike Hill quit after being accused of sexual harassment, triggering a Red Wall by-election in Hartlepool.
He was suspended by the party in 2019 over claims he harassed a woman, and has since stepped down from the Commons.

Which local council and mayoral elections are taking place on May 6?
There are 343 councils in England, but not every authority will be holding elections.
This is because elections take place in four-year cycles, so different councils hold polls in varying years.
The Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) said that “with two years worth of elections, it’s going to be ‘Super Thursday’.”
