Labour's Emma Lewell-Buck retains the South Shields Parliamentary seat for the party following the by-election triggered by the resignation of David Miliband. However, Labour's majority is reduced significantly after the UK Independence Party secures almost a quarter of the votes cast.

UK parliamentary by-election

A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of South Shields was held on 2 May 2013, triggered by the resignation of incumbent Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) and former Foreign Secretary David Miliband in order to take up a position as head of the International Rescue Committee in New York City. It was won by Labour candidate Emma Lewell-Buck who held the seat with 50.4% of the vote.
