PAGE 5 NOW IT’S REMAINER LABOUR vs THE BREXIT PARTY In June’s Peterborough by-election, the eight-week-old Brexit Party came very close to unseating the Labour Party and electing our first Westminster MP in our 201st target seat. That election showed politics is no longer about Left v Right. It highlighted a stark message for Leave voters backing both major old parties. VOTE LABOUR VOTE CONSERVATIVE GET CORBYN GET REMAIN Peterborough is yet another Leave-voting Labour seat represented by a Remainer MP. This divide Labour held Peterborough with 31 per cent of reflects how Labour has increasingly become a party the vote (down 17 per cent), narrowly ahead of the of the metropolitan middle classes and abandoned Brexit Party on 30 per cent – a majority of just 683. its traditional working-class supporters.
