Interesting results in Peterborough, Labour actually increased their majority when everyone expected them to be defeated. The Tories took a bit of a pasting but no where near the pasting that most were predicting and I suspect that they will be quite revealed with the result. The Libs will also be pleased that they did so well in a town where they never poll that well. Just shows the difference between voting in the Euros and for an MP. You might want to read this if you think labour increased their majority. And even more interesting the brexit party lost by only 600 votes without a political manafesto, yes well done labour, NOT Edited by dannyboy1978 (07 Jun 2019 11.30am)

Interesting from Jess Phillips, who regards Lisa Forbes as an anti-Semite. Jewish MP Margaret Hodge has mixed feelings. [Tweet Link]

The destruction of the car industry is mainly being caused because there is just too much capacity worldwide coupled with confusion caused by the Government over diesel and their withdrawal of the grants for plug in hybrids. There was rubbish being spouted by a Labour MP on The Daily Politics today about Ford's Bridgend engine plant being caused by Brexit confusion until Andrew Neil pointed out that it was being shut in September 2020 because they had lost the contract to build engines for Jaguar Land Rover which would cease at that time Saw that. They did not mention at the time that 7000 white collar Ford workers WORLDWIDE are to lose their jobs, nothing at all to do with Brexit

But it was only a 600 majority, democratically we should have another vote, they only won by 2% and if you add the conservatives and the brexit it amounts to a more right thinking majority.
Not at all. This was an election which had a clear path to implementation. Whoever wins becomes the MP for Peterborough. Pretty simple really. If in 2022, after 3 years of arguing about how she should become an MP, what her salary is, where she will live, what happens with her kids, and no agreement at all with the 2 sides completely opposed, then we can have another vote. Nice try but it doesn’t really match up does it.

I find it a bit strange that I have not heard 1 MP from any party who has said this (I am happy to see a link to disprove my point), you seem to be running a solo campaign on this

Disprove it. Childish. Anything other than a Labour win would have been surprising in the Asian outpost of Peterborough. They scraped in, in a mid term bi-election with a floundering government and only 600 votes more than a party only formed a few weeks ago. Do you actually think that is something to cheer?

He is by the far the worst speaker I have seen, bearing in mind they should be impartial. Accusations of bullying/harassment, alleged expenses abuse, should have seen him gone by now but he will be gone at the next GE if not before.

Farage once again being denied a seat at the table is absolutely something to cheer. This is a devastating blow to his narrative and had he won that could have had major implications at the next general.

Guess he had this little stunt planned when he got carried away thinking he would finally have a seat at the big boys table. Funny thing is he decided to go through with this desperate media stunt even though they lost. This kind of thing smacks of desperation to stay relevant and stay in the limelight.

No we have a 2nd, I thought if we didnt get the result we wanted. Isn't that democracy? Well of course there'll be another vote in Peterborough. It's called an election cycle. It happens every 5 years unless the incumbent leaves office/a snap election is called. Because surprisingly, people are given the chance to change their minds. I say surprising because giving people the chance to change their minds is apparently undemocratic nowadays.

I'd say he's succeeded admirably. He is still very relevant and very much in the limelight. It must be really pissing you off.
