Selected!

Well, the selection hustings is over, the speeches made, the questions asked and the votes cast and counted. And I'm really delighted to have been selected as Labour's candidate for Putney with an overwhelming mandate. In a packed meeting at Lady North Hall in Ravenna Road, just behind Upper Richmond Road, I won over 70% of the votes cast so was elected in the first round of voting. This is the end of the selection campaign, but the start of the election campaign and I relish the opportunity to make the case for why Putney, Roehampton and Southfields need a Labour MP. My family has come down to help celebrate my win, so off to enjoy a (small) glass of champagne!
