Elections

Last Tuesday morning Labour launched its London Campaign in Hammersmith, showing once again how important this seat is in this election.

Three Cabinet Ministers, Alan Johnson, Tessa Jowell and Ed Miliband, delivered the message of the Labour manifesto at the St. Paul's Centre in central Hammersmith. Alan Johnson focused on the Conservatives' proposed cuts in safer neighbourhood police teams, which have made a huge impact on crime in London. While crime continues to fall across London and the country, it is rising in Hammersmith due to the incompetence of the current council whose first act was to cut police support in Hammersmith Broadway, which has the highest crime figures in the borough. Alan is a regular visitor to Hammersmith and we always welcome his passion for our community.

Andy was born on the 29th September 1960 and has been a Member of Parliament for Ealing, Acton and Shepherds Bush since 2005, when he retired from his position as Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

He is Labour candidate for the new Hammersmith seat, which includes Shepherds Bush, in the next general election.
