There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat.

Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists. Our reporter, Ann Carroll, began by asking him what he feels he brings to Camden.

Natalie Bennett, Green Party
Will Blair, Conservative Party
Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party
Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party

the local community even if that puts her at odds with her
party, and fish and chips.
