By-election - live coverage

THE fight to win the Crewe & Nantwich By-election has been grabbing the headlines both locally and nationally.

Its importance cannot be underestimated: a win for Labour would make life a lot easier for beleagured PM Gordon Brown; but a Tory victory could well put his future in jeopardy.

Chesterchronicle.co.uk will be bringing you live coverage right through Thursday night and Friday morning. With journalists feeding all the latest news and gossip directly into a live and interactive blog from the count - you will be right in the thick of the action.

We will also be adding pictures and video as the night draws on - and the winning candidate is revealed.

The live blog begins at 10pm on Thursday.
