Parliament
Liberal Democrats in Hampstead & Kilburn have selected Ed Fordham to fight the next general election. Hampstead & Kilburn is a new seat which academics say is a very close Labour/Liberal Democrat marginal. It includes parts of Brent East which currently have a Lib Dem MP. The Conservatives are a distant third.
Ed is well known to many local residents and groups. He lives in Hampstead and was the Lib Dem candidate for the current Hampstead & Highgate seat at the last general election. He is committed to standing up for local residents.
