Channel 4 News

Last Saturday I was interviewed by Channel 4 News about my campaign's readiness for a General Election which, at the time, was thought likely to be called the following Monday.

Of course, events have overtaken us and there now isn't going to be an election for the foreseeable future. But I was able to report perfectly honestly that, thanks to some hectic work since I was selected in June, Putney, Roehampton and Southfields Labour Party is ready to fight a general election whenever it's called.

Alas, my interview never got aired - though shots of my campaign team and me delivering the Putney Paper in the streets around Felsham Road were used - and showed what a young, dynamic and energetic team of local members and supporters we're building locally.
