Labour won Peterborough fair and square, according to police election inquiry
Lisa Forbes: She won the Peterborough Parliamentary seat by 683 votes.
This is good news.
Also, as I seem to recall supporters of the second-placed Brexit Party had made the most noise about electoral offences in Peterborough, isn’t it great that they now have time to gather themselves before making the same complaints in Brecon and Radnorshire?
Five allegations of malpractice at a Parliamentary by-election were unfounded, a police inquiry concluded.
Labour won the Peterborough seat last month, after its incumbent MP Fiona Onasanya was forced out after being jailed for lying to police.
However, allegations of bribery, postal vote issues, burning of ballots and breaching the privacy of the vote were made to Cambridgeshire Police.
A spokesman confirmed the force found no criminal activity had taken place.
Police had already concluded that three of the allegations were unfounded.
