Jess Phillips secured re-election in her Birmingham Yardley seat, but faced heckles and boos as she gave her acceptance speech. The incident marked the end of a 'horrible' campaign, the Labour MP told Sky News' Electoral Dysfunction podcast.
Jess Phillips has admitted she found the general election campaign 'absolutely horrible' after enduring abuse - which culminated in being booed as she gave her acceptance speech. The Labour MP was narrowly re-elected for Birmingham Yardley on Friday morning with a majority of just 693 - after facing competition from a Workers Party candidate on a pro-Gaza ticket.
