Jess Phillips has admitted she found the general election campaign "absolutely horrible" after enduring abuse - which culminated in being booed as she gave her acceptance speech.
The Labour MP was narrowly re-elected for Birmingham Yardley on Friday morning with a majority of just 693 - after facing competition from a Workers Party candidate on a pro-Gaza ticket.
Ms Phillips - who quit the Labour frontbench in November to back a Commons vote calling for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire - was booed and heckled as she addressed the crowd at the count.

Speaking to Sky News' Beth Rigby on the latest Electoral Dysfunction podcast, out later this evening, Ms Phillips reflected on the past six weeks of campaigning and said: "It was an absolutely horrible campaign."
Labelling the abuse she's received in recent weeks as "the most aggressive [and] most intimidatory", Jess continued: "Not just [for] me but people in my constituency.
"[There were] people being intimidated, people being told that God will judge them if they vote a certain way."

Campaign activists in Birmingham had their car tyres slashed on Thursday, while a young woman handing out leaflets had "genocide" screamed in her face as someone filmed it, Ms Phillips added.
"The reason they're filming is to drive content, to incite more intimidation," she said. "In my constituency, the humiliation was by men, to women.
"And they wish to drive content... that's what our politics has become - humiliation. Content-driven grift."

"I didn't want to take them because I just thought it might be really ugly for them to be there," she said. "They were in good spirits and everything, but I had to keep them in the office with me."
