| I was door knocked by a national newspaper just now who have spent several days canvassing local people in Brentford. It seems that a staggering 99% of non member labour voters would not vote for Mrs Keen but would vote for a new or independent labour candidate. It seems also that much disappointment with the local labour party failing to reign in the Keens on simply a moralistic line has now reached boiling point. This is a shame for the local councillors who in the main have kept themselves fairly well grounded to local issues. But it won't take much for the local Labour party to sink if an independent candidate does come forward. I understand from the journalists that there is a big name waiting in the wings. Anyone know who this could be? |
