Brent East by-election, Thursday 18th September

The Liberals haven't got a single councillor in Brent East. Their candidate, Sarah Teather, is a councillor in Islington. At the last elections they got 5% of the vote. The Conservatives "have admitted they can't win." The Labour candidate "lives in Surrey" (according to the other candidates.) There is now an Independent candidate, member of the Labour party for 27 years, Harold Immanuel. He is a lawyer who "grew up in Brent and lives in Kilburn." He hopes to repeat our previous MP Mayor Ken Livingstone's success in getting elected as an Independent. Ref: www.democracy-for-brent-east.org.
