Thursday’s Oldham West and Royton by-election was the first electoral test of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership, which came under even further scrutiny in the wake of events surrounding this week’s parliamentary vote on Syria. Professor Tony Travers discusses Jim McMahon’s victory for Labour, its implications for the party and its leader, and what the result means for UKIP.
