The neighbouring constituency of Lewisham West & Penge’s MP stood down and this created an unseemly rush to replace him. It was won by Ellie Reeves, an ex member of the NEC, a sub-committee of which appointed her but a local resident it would seem.
Delighted to have been selected as the @UKLabour candidate in Lewisham West & Penge - the area that I live in and that I love.

At least one friend of mine applied, and unsurprisingly wasn’t short listed.
