Sky News takes a closer look at Peterborough, where the Brexit Party could affect a close battle between Labour and the Tories.

Seriously concerned by the Islamophobia allegations surrounding the Tories, Mohammed Saeed says many in his community will vote Labour.

It is an economically successful city and has a history as a key marginal, and apart from 2005 and 2017, it has voted for the party which won power nationally since the 1970s. Around 22% of the adult population is from an ethnic minority, making it the 112th most ethnically diverse constituency in the UK. It is also the 141st youngest constituency, with 51.3% of adults under the age of 45.

Earnings are down 7.5 points since 2010, which is relatively average. But it is one of the more deprived constituencies, sitting at 130 out of 650 on the Sky Deprivation Index.
