New Reform MP Sarah Pochin sworn in after by-election victory

Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin has taken her seat as an MP in the House of Commons.

Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, won the recent by-election in her new constituency by a margin of six votes.

She was flanked by Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, and Lee Anderson, the party’s chief whip, as she entered the chamber.

Pochin swore an oath to the King, something all MPs are required to do, as the commons returned following the local elections.
