First time in a hundred years so a great upset. Labour put up a good candidate that mobilised the large student population but Brazier had become very unpopular in not opposing a planned massive housing development and watching the downgrading of the hospital whilst doing nothing.

Julian Brazier turned up at the NHS rally the weekend before the General Election. He was given short shrift. Social media was rife with it been like the murderer attending the funeral. To say he had become unpopular is an understatement.

Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

it was probably the new inflow into the old army housing that tipped the vote.
canterbury is getting a new hospital, but they will close the old one before its built ??
totaly disjointed thinking.
I think as a politician he took his eye of the ball in his own back yard.

Considering that around a third of canterbury students have this same week finished their degrees and buggered off home, must make it even harder.

No chance Keith, they were shipped there only because they were living in hostels/B and B in Ilford, people in that situation very rarely vote as they don't think any party is interested in them.

It amazes me that the number of new & late registrations didn't give the game away.
Poor intelligence.

I have checked everywhere and can find no accusations, let alone evidence, of impropriety in Canterbury

Even Brazier the Tory not making any such suggestion.
The students got themselves organised and people of Canterbury not happy of Brazier in the hospital fight
