Re-elected Rupa Huq MP in her constituency
An Ealing councillor has been announced as the Conservative candidate for the Ealing Central and Acton seat, one of the most marginal in the UK.
Joy Morrissey, originally from America, will lock horns with Labour’s Rupa Huq MP who currently holds the seat.
Cllr Jon Ball will target the seat for the Liberal Democrats, having missed out in 2015 with 3,106 votes.
He finished behind Conservative candidate Angie Bray with 21,728 and Dr Huq with 22,002, making it one of the most marginal seats in the UK.

Labour’s Rupa Huq MP aims to keep her Ealing Central and Acton seat
Dr Huq said: “The Prime Minister has put the interests of party before those of the country.
Theresa May, who stated on seven separate occasions she wouldn’t call a snap election, has performed a monumental u- turn and this shows how she and her government simply can’t be trusted.
I will be fighting this election on my record of opposing the Tory government and its hard Brexit, disastrous plans for the NHS, cuts in local school budgets in Ealing, Acton and Chiswick and austerity Britain.
Labour remains the best hope for this this, other spoiler parties would only hand the seat to the Tories.
