The campaign for the 2024 general election is on, and we must now convince as many as possible in Kensington & Bayswater who can vote on 4 July to also do so – and that they vote for Joe Powell!
In 2017, Kensington Labour managed, for the first time ever since the Kensington constituency was first created in 1974, to secure the Kensington MP seat, albeit with only 20 votes margin, but in the disastrous 2019 election, the Tories took it back, but only with a 150 votes margin.
This time, when the constituency has been expanded to include the Westminster wards Bayswater and Lancaster Gate, Labour is going to take it back, hopefully with a large margin — because we have a great candidate in Joe Powell, a fantastic team of dedicated activists, and Keir Starmer’s new and revitalised Labour is ahead in the polls across the country.
However, there are right now seven candidates fighting over the Kensington & Bayswater seat. It is therefore vital to let the voters know that Joe is the only candidate who can take the MP seat away from Felicity Buchan and thereby help us get rid of the Tory government. So, unless they want five more years of a government that is lurching ever further towards rightwing extremism, they must now lend their votes to Joe — because voting for anyone else will be a wasted vote.
Since he was elected as Labour’s MP candidate for Kensington and Bayswater, Joe has been busy revitalising the constituency party and has highlighted a number of issues like schools, our crumbling hospitals and dirty politics.
