The Labour Party has chosen its Broxtowe candidate for the next general election following weeks of controversy after a leading councillor was "blocked" from the process. Juliet Campbell will attempt to win Broxtowe for Labour during the general election expected to take place next year.
Juliet Campbell was selected after a meeting on Saturday (March 18) which saw local party members voting between those candidates who had made it onto the shortlist. But one of those who did not make the shortlist was Greg Marshall, who represents Beeston West on Broxtowe Borough Council and who has been Labour's candidate in the area for the last two general elections.
At the election in 2019, Councillor Marshall lost to the Conservative candidate Darren Henry, whilst in 2017 he lost to Anna Soubry. But at the latter election, he increased Labour's vote share by nearly 10%.
