LABOUR hopefuls are battling it out to be the party’s candidate for Kensington. Tory Felicity Buchan only won by 150 votes in 2019 and faces a battle to hold on next time.
The seat’s left-wing ex-MP, Emma Dent Coad is a frontrunner. She is well respected in the community for her support for the victims of Grenfell tower, having won the seat in a surprise result in 2017. However, last year she said that Keir Starmer’s Labour was “toxic” and didn’t know what it stood for.
