By 27 votes to 20. The reason being that she's openly critical of Jeremy Corbyn, which is quite frankly the least issue with her. Especially as she's about the only local MP speaking sense over the disastrous project to leave the EU.

If they had made this about her views on fracking or the water industry or a number of other actual policy issues I might understand, but to make it about her not being a fan of Jeremy Corbyn is just petty.
