Just stood up and said his constituency marginally voted in favour of leaving. Since when was a 58-42 split marginal. |  |

DId he really claim that as a marginal result? I've not been impressed by Mr Martin, but I might be prejudiced against him 'cos of the 'tache. |  |

Constituency voted Leave, but elected a Labour MP by a wafer-thin margin? Don't you just love FPTP?
This will be a hotly fought seat in the next GE (not my constituency btw, I'm Suffolk Coastal) |  |

He said that leave got approx 50%. A little over 50% but not much more. |  |

If memory serves me well it was somewhere between 8-9,000 more. | |

Maybe he got the numbers from Diane Abbott | |

I mean, by the current standards of dishonesty in parliament this is merely a slight exaggeration. |  |

First time I’ve seen him. He came across as a bit of a tit. | |

Given that Wrexiteers never accepted the 65/35 original vote, I'd certainly class anything less than 60/40 as marginal. |  | | |

I think he is a decent overall, but probably elected above his expected level and was not remotely expected to beat Ben Gummer in last election - but of course a combination of Corbynmania and May making an absolute pigs ear of a campaign made a mockery of that. | |

Ipswich 72.5% 27,698 38,655 41.7% 58.3%
almost 11,000 more in favour of leave in Ipswich. | |

Probably more so with the Brexit Party
The Tories are weak on the Northern Bypass with Coffey and Poulter shooting Tom Hunt in the foot repeatedly
We're probably a Brexit Party target seat [Post edited 4 Sep 2019 22:10]

Corbyn said he’ll support a GE once tonight’s bill has Royal ascent. That could happen as early as Monday. So Boris brings back the vote again on Tuesday. GE on the 15th. | |

Mr Corbyn and cronies clearly don't see that he faces a nuclear wipeout in his working class seats! | | | |

Good god, I had no idea there were so many dense people in my hometown. I assumed they were just old. | | | |

That's borderline isn't it, but then again we're told time and again that 52-48 was an overwhelming majority so you can probably dry your eyes here. | |

I suspect the BXP think they can do well in Ipswich, but unless the Tories stand aside (which I can't see happening), the Brexit vote will be split and Labour will win again - if the BXP want as many hardish Brexit-supporting MPs in Parliament as possible after the next GE, it should be they who stand aside. | |

The BXP role will be to take votes from Labour and let the Tories in. | |

I can't see that in Ipswich, the BXP will just take too many votes of the Tories |  |
