Kate Hoey banging on about Ireland paying for the border, then following the UK out of the EU (as they joined when we did).

She's a bit of a mess isn't she - why hasn't she been expelled from the Labour party , I remember reading somewhere her own local council members didn't even want her

I recall that the Lib Dems (!) targeted her seat in the election, but their candidate was a bit lacklustre (as well, of course, as being a Lib Dem i.e. not popular at the moment), and she has been the MP for Vauxhall for so long that she clearly has a strong bedrock of support. In then end she came away with a majority close to 30%.

I always wonder (with a lot of mps) if it's really her who has the support, or the Labour party - a majority like that suggests no appetite for Tories in that neck of the woods.

I guess the Party wouldn't want to risk deselection with such a majority.
