The Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley suffered jeers by pro-Palestinian supporters after she beat an independent by just 693.
Jess Phillips used her victory speech to declare that the 'pretty gruesome' campaign for her seat was 'the worst election I have ever stood in' - as she was drowned out by boos and chants of 'Free Palestine '.
'It's been pretty gruelling here, I'm afraid to say some of my opponents did not reflect at all the manner in which some of my constituents behaved which was with decorum and class.' Ms Phillips hit back at the hecklers: 'I see we're going to continue with the class that we had during the campaign... I understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence.'
In Dewsbury and Batley, independent candidate Iqbal Mohamed, whose key focus areas include a ceasefire and peace agreement in Gaza, beat the Labour candidate Heather Iqbal. Labour's Paul Waugh meanwhile won Rochdale from Workers Party leader George Galloway, just months after he won the seat in a shock by-election dominated by the Gaza war.
