In 1997 I was Labour candidate against Michael Heseltine in Henley. He never stood again. In 2015 against David Cameron, gone within 18 months. This year I am Labour candidate in the #EuropeanElections against Nigel Farage.

@EiJake I’m sorry you have found the campaign disappointing Jake. It is politics these days I guess - always a short clip out of context away from a scandal. I saw Keir today in a farm near Chipping Norton. He was very positive, but also insistent that every vote counts. I hope he is PM
