Stephen Emmens (UKIP)

No info what-so-ever about Stephen so I'm not even sure if he's running or not






Whilst traditionally a strong Labour seat, as we can see from the small majority held by Charles Clarke and the heavy targeting of this seat by the Lib Dems and Greens this should be one to watch come May the 6th.
