In the City Council elections on May 2nd, the Conservatives outpolled Labour in the wards within the new Constituency. On a night which was so bad for the Conservatives nationally, and with the national opinion polls so unfavourable to the Conservatives, that was quite an achievement in a highly ‘marginal’ new Constituency.

The Conservatives have overperformed/Labour underperformed consistently in local elections for quite a few years now in Peterborough. How much impact this will have on the general election is not certain, but given Labour won in 2017 it’s probably more a question of margin than the Conservatives actually holding on.

Peterborough probably believes Labour will not take us back into the EU and therefore Lab will win here in the GE.m, quite easily I think, by 4k +

Some are tipping Peterborough to be a shock Tory hold...
You'll get 4/1 for that.

Workers' Party performance could be interesting here.

CON can't win these kind of seats if REF are standing

I can see this being a lower swing seat, but I honestly can't see the Tories holding it. Will there be any seats that Labour won in 2017 but don't win this time, allowing for boundary changes?
