From Ken Clark
Louisa Thomson is our candidate in the Stoke Newington council by-election in Hackney. Today is polling day, and it's looking really close between us and the Greens. If you are able to come along and help Louisa keep this ward for Labour, please do. Details for polling day are below. Louisa is particularly keen for as many volunteers as possible to get out today, as we're going to need to run a huge operation to get out our vote.
Thursday 29th January: Activity all day from 9am to 10pm, from Flat 1, 8 Beatty Road, N16 8EB. Contact Luke on 07949 152562. Email: stokenewingtoncentral@hackney-labour.org.uk
Any help you can offer us during this crucial by-election is extremely welcome.

The Tory candidate is called Mr Bean! And they've been working it. Our candidate Dave Ellison has been having an excellent campaign and though a Lib Dem hold seems arithmetically likely their candidate is very weak indeed.
Last time approx: LD 1200, Lab 650, Con 450 ... all gets pretty interesting if Cons add 300 and we can leverage a swing of just 125 from the Libs.
That would be around 775-775-750! Dream on. Leech's majority in the parliamentary is just 667. This ward alone could do him in when the time comes so this is important.
I've given some background here.
