If this result shows anything it’s that Labour’s support in Peterborough has collapsed and they’ve hung on only because the Tories tend to lose even more votes to the Brexit Party than Labour does. If a new Tory leader can deliver Brexit and neutralise Farage, he could wipe the floor with Corbyn in a subsequent general election.

Don't know about crowing about it but labour couldn't have tried harder to lose, they put a racist up to replace one that couldn't keep herself outta clink! On the whole I don't think any of the parties will be that unhappy with the result given the turn out was down 20% on the general election, even the tory vote didn't totally collapse
