AFTER Labour increased its majority in the Peterborough by-election, Jeremy Corbyn has told the Tories and the media: “Underestimate us at your peril.”

“We offer the politics of hope, to end austerity, to fund our schools properly, to employ our police properly, to give our young people a future in this country,” he said.
