Sarah Joanne Pochin (née Hyde born 1969 or 1970) is a British Reform UK politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Runcorn and Helsby since May 2025.
Formerly a Conservative councillor who later sat as an independent member, she left the party and joined Reform UK. She currently holds the record for the smallest margin of victory in modern British by-election history, having overturned Labour's 14,700 majority from the 2024 general election by just six votes.
