POLITICAL SPICE
THE announcement by veteran Southall MP Mr Piara Khabra not to stand at the next general election, has already triggered off a race between would-be candidates for the parliamentary seat.
Extra spice was thrown into this ‘contest by proxy’ for a prospective MP (featured on the front of last week’s Gazette), when the Labour Party announced it was planning an all women shortlist.
This has led to several letters arriving on my desk, both in support and against this very contentious proposal. I’m sure this issue will gather pace until a final decision is made on whether to have an all women shortlist in March.
So whatever your view on the all women shortlist just keep us informed. In fact, tell us about any issues affecting you. And don’t forget you can also use our website message board ‘Have Your Say’ to comment.
Ealing doesn’t appear to have that loving feeling this Valentine at the moment – don’t forget to use the message board to send your love greetings too.

I am considering standing as an independent. Can I count on everyones support? I will call myself the primate coalition. My main policies will be for all my friends to be let out of prison in the zoo and for free bananas for everyone. Dont forget Vote Monkey!
