PRO-EU LIB DEMS WIN RICHMOND BY-ELECTION

Britain's pro-EU Liberal Democrats have caused a major upset, winning a Parliamentary by-election which they fought on the issue of Brexit.

The Richmond Park by-election was triggered by former Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith who resigned after the party's decision to expand Heathrow Airport.

He stood as an independent candidate, but Liberal Democrat Sarah Olney overturned a 23 000 majority to oust him with a pro-EU platform.

It leaves Prime Minister Theresa May with an even slimmer parliamentary majority.
