many a story a very bad misbehavior by kennedy and chris dodd. and fresh -- french restaurants across dc. he was in the state of not being a good place for yet another decade but in those last few decades has the accumulation of everything accomplished in the senate career. to me he is a model legislator. in a day now where we have some new people who go to congress really more to posture than anything and i just actually interviewed joseph kennedy the third he is now in congress and it was striking to talk to joe kennedy about his approach to being a member of congress. he is now in a majority for the first time in the house. he was very clear eyed in a way that i think is passed down from knowing ted kennedy and knowing his legacy he was very clear about what the job of the congressman congressman is and is it. and his goals should be in congress. he's going for mental health legislation. he was very clear. he knows republicans controlled the senate. if you have to work on things that have a good chance of getting things. they now see the insti

jane dodds beat the incumbent conservative chris davies by 1,425 votes. rately crying out for a different kind of politics. there is no time for tribalism when our country is faced with a boris johnson government and a threat of a no—deal brexit. so my very first act as yourmp, when no—deal brexit. so my very first act as your mp, when i arrived in westminster, will be to find mr borisjohnson, wherever he's hiding, and tell him loud and clear, stop playing with the future of our communities and rule out a no—deal brexit now. applause this is a time when people that share liberal values must work together, which is why i want to thank the green party, and plaid cymru for their courageous decision to back me this time. jane dodds. her victory is bad news for borisjohnson, as his working majority is cut to just one, making it extremely difficult to push legislation through parliament. earlier this morning bbc breakfast spoke to the conservative party chairman, james cleverly, who wasn't impressed with plaid cymru and the greens' decision to step aside in orde

race between the conservative party and their mp chris davies is held the seat for some years and the lid will democrats, the challenging candidate, jane doddslay as they always do in by—elections which ta ke they always do in by—elections which take place between the main general elections when the entire uk goes to the polls, it has really been the issue of exit which has been the dominating issue in this campaign and very interesting in this part of the uk because this constituency voted as the entire country did. 52% to leave, 48% to remain and we've seen something of an informal remain alliance with the liberal democrats leading the campaign in favour of remain. the green party and plaid cymru agreeing not to stand and deliver the result but on the conservative side, campaigning very much in favour of exit. we have the exit party headed by nigel for chipping away at their vote their sources tonight are talking up the prospect of them finishing in third place behind the conservatives and the liberal democrats. the only real concern is that it is going to be close and we're not going to see big margin of victory by either the tories or th

here is the result — the liberal democrat candidate jane dodds overturned the conservatives majority of over 8,000 to beat the incumbent mp chris over 1,400 votes. the brexit party pushed labour into fourth place. and here is the share of the vote which saw a 12% swing from the conservatives to the liberal democrats, and the labour vote collapsed. 0ther pro—remain parties had stood aside to allow the lib dems a better chance to reclaim the seat they lost in the 2015 general election. 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake, spent the night at the count and sent this report. the votes had been cast and the counting could begin. conservatives fighting to hold on, liberal democrats sensing a chance. both sides knew it would be close. i do hereby declare thatjane dodds is duly elected member of parliament for the said constituency. a win for the party that campaigned against brexit, and a message to the new prime minister from parliament's newest member. my very first act as your mp when i arrive in westminster will be to find mr borisjohnson, wherever he's hiding, and tell him loud and clear — stop playing with the future of o

chris, christine mentioned a majority of one, it would not take much to overturn that. the party of remain, they are calling it. as labour, you had to be disappointed? congratulations to jane dodds would much have preferred if tom davies had taken the seat but i look forward to working with her in parliament that there are many things we would want to agree with, and my commiserations to agree with, and my commiserations to chris davies. he did something silly but i feel for him. for the tories to put up the same candidate again, was that perhaps not the wisest? maybe, but there were quite a lot of people in the constituency who felt chris was a good representative. the biggest problem for the labour party as we nearly lost deposit, i am glad did not. that it's quite embarrassing, labour beaten into fourth place by the brexit party? i get that, some others have said for quite some time that one of the problem is about trying to be all things to all men and women is nobody ends up liking what you are offering. do you think it was the ambiguity?” what you are offering. do you think it was the ambiguity? i think of a constructive ambiguity has not helped us over the last two years,
