LABOUR launched the campaign for Ealing’s most marginal seat, Ealing Central and Acton, with its candidate, Rupa Huq, vowing to win the seat once more.
A gathering was addressed by council leader Julian Bell and TV’s Konnie Huq, a former Blue Peter presenter and Rupa’s sister. She is now a constituent.
Having ousted the Conservatives from the seat by just 274 votes in 2015, the majority was substantially increased in 2017.
Rupa Huq said: “Last time, we benefited from the Ealing Green Party standing down and endorsing me as the only environmentally-minded candidate able to win.
“I think people need to think tactically again regarding Remain and be aware of how votes translate into seats.”
