Re: Brexit
If X does something(often repeatedly) without complaint and then Y does a supposedly similar thing and the complaints flood in, then it's not unreasonable to point out the bias and prejudice in the complaints about Y.

Who wasn't complaining, I've been banging on about it for years on here, in fact the first red rep I received was for being naive for expecting politicians to tell the truth and to be held to account if they don't, glad after all these years the public is starting to say we've had enough and this isn't good enough

Re: Brexit
I wouldn’t be crowing if I were the Labour this morning. That result was a lot closer than they will have liked. Opposition parties are meant to hold their seats at by elections. They frequently do so with increased majorities. Increasing the majority by 76 while also losing 17% of your support relative to 2017 is nothing to brag about, especially when you’ve just been run to the wire by a party that didn’t exist 2 months ago.
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.

Re: Brexit
l see Mr Farage sneaked out of the back door before the result was announced...
Quote:

Sky News described it as “a disappointing result for Mr Farage's party, given 60% of voters in the area backed Brexit in the 2016 referendum”. According to the BBC, the Brexit Party had largely steered clear of local issues as it had hoped to win “on national issues and discontent with the ‘Westminster elite’”.

Less that 700 votes in it, that's not bad for a party that is only 2 months old.
