I am extremely pleased that Adam Harrison, one of the best young Labour activists I know, has been selected at the last minute to stand in my ward, Bloomsbury, for Camden Council. Voting will take place on 6 May as, unusually, the London Borough and General Elections will be held on the same day. Late vacancies arise on occasion and I am delighted Adam has been selected.
You may have guessed that I have an interest to declare. Last year, when studying at the College of Europe in Bruges, Adam worked part time for me in Brussels. He returned to the UK and last autumn he also worked again for me part time. Adam’s knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm will serve the people of Bloomsbury well.
He currently works for Progress producing their excellent daily news bulletin and is also involved with Left Foot Forward and Labour List . Not content with politics as the day job, in his spare time Adam has been organising Labour’s campaign in the ward where I live Bloomsbury, and was therefore an obvious choice for the Council seat.
One of my traditional election day activities which I have done ever since moving to the area is taking numbers at a polling station in Bloomsbury. I look forward to doing so for both Frank Dobson and Adam and confidently predict both will win.
