Reform UK and Labour will do battle in a quadruple showdown with Nigel Farage hoping to keep up momentum after last week's Clacton by-election.
Mr Farage won with 22,239 votes and Count Binface, the persona of Jon Harvey, came second on 9,455 votes, giving the Reform leader a majority of 12,784 and 62.82 per cent of the vote.
This week, his party is looking to win again as Reform is defending seats in South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire, while Labour is looking to retain seats in Cumberland and the East Midlands.
GB News has taken a look at the four seats across England up for grabs this week.
Penistone East (Barnsley)
First up, Reform UK is looking to hold on to the Penistone East ward on Barnsley Council, which was triggered after the resignation of Kay Hughes.
The former councillor cited personal reasons for giving up her seat just eight weeks after the election, however she did not give further details.

At Westminster, the corresponding Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency was once held by GB News presenter Miriam Cates, who lost the seat to Labour's Marie Tidball at the 2024 General Election, who won with a majority of 8,739.

Heading up to the north east of England next for a Labour defence on Cumberland Council after the resignation of Labour's Lucy Patrick.
Citing personal reasons, the former Harraby South councillor said: "I wish the council, its staff, and all our residents the best for the future.
"A huge amount of work has been done to create a council with key vision and purpose, that puts health and well-being at the heart of everything it does.
"It has introduced community panels to take decision-making closer to communities, and is improving the services it delivers for local people. I am grateful to have been part of that."
Labour runs the corresponding Cumberland Council with a majority of just two councillors.
