The United Kingdom's governing Conservative Party has scored a significant election victory in a town that has traditionally been a stronghold of its main opponent.
The Conservatives decisively won the vacant parliamentary seat of Hartlepool.
It has been held by the opposition Labour Party for more than 50 years.
Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from Hartlepool in Northeast England.
