LABOUR candidates are battling for the chance to challenge Boris Johnson for his Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat at the next election. He’s been MP for the north-west London constituency since 2015, but a recent poll by YouGov suggests it could fall to Labour.

So far, none of the potential candidates are household names. They include Danny Beales, a charity worker, and social media manager Panny Antoniou. Johnson’s last opponent, Left-winger Ali Milani, who campaigned for US firebrand Bernie Sanders, is also likely to stand again, with others set to throw their hats into the ring soon.
