This is not necessarily a comprehensive list of by-election results from yesterday but these are the results that have crossed my desk this morning (2 holds, one gain from Labour, one gain from Tories):
LD GAIN from Lab in St George West (Bristol City Council)
Tony Potter (Liberal Democrat): 923
Labour: 816
Conservative: 509
Independent: 257
Green: 116
English Democrat: 93
Rotherhithe Ward, LB Southwark
LD hold.
LD 1149 (56.8%, +9.2)
Lab 618 (30.6%, +5.3)
Con 255 (12.6%, -4.3)
Swing of 2% from Lab to LD since 2006.
(LDs and Lab both picking up some of the Green vote from 2006.)
Alexandra Ward, LB Haringey
LD hold
LD 1460 (49.9%, -6)
Lab 772 (26.4%, +5.9)
Con 443 (15.2%, +6.4)
Green 221 (7.6%, -7.2)
BNP 27 (0.1%, +0.1)
Swing of 6% from LD to Lab since 2006.
Wantage Town Council
LD gain from Conservatives
Lib Dem 328
Con 201
Lab 130
In terms of winning, then this is a good set of results. As usual, the headline overshadows the percentage changes (I don't have them for Bristol or Wantage). The London results are percentage changes since 2006 which was a particularly bad year for Labour in the capital.
