    Fiona McTaggart, ex-Slough MP, says Jeremy Corbyn has moved the party on from Tony Blair.

    Fiona McTaggart, the former Labour MP for Slough, has said that Jeremy Corbyn has moved the party on from the leadership of Tony Blair.

    Ms McTaggart was elected in the Labour landslide in 1997, and was one the 101 so-called 'Blair's babes' elected that year. She left office at this election.

    “The world changes, and I think the Jeremy Corbyn phenomenon is a lesson to our generation", McTaggart told BBC Radio Berkshire.

    “I am a Blairite, and I thought he was a brilliant leader. But Jeremy is engaging with a group of people who were put off by Tony Blair, and they feel Jeremy does get them".

    The big shock of the night in Berkshire was Matt Rodda's victory for Labour in Reading East.

    The incumbent Rob Wilson had held the seat for the Conservatives for 12 years, and had a majority of over 6,500, which was overturned last night in dramatic fashion.

    I was expecting to narrowly lose", said Mr Rodda, a local councillor, "I’m frankly very surprised that we managed to have such a great result here".

    He was so shocked, that he hadn't written his victory speech until 01:30 last night.

    The new MP added: "People are sick and tired of cuts, and pressure on public services". In Reading East you just have a more enhanced version of that".
