Cllr John Duffy is standing as an independent in Kilburn apparently out of frustration with the local Labour Party. I think he will discover, as Bertha Joseph did before him, and indeed Alex Colas in 2014, that Independent candidates do not fare well.
I note that he is now claiming to have resigned from the Labour Party in 2003 because of the Iraq War. My memory is a little different. I understood that he resigned in 2003 because the Labour Party did not shortlist him in the Parliamentary By election held in Brent East that year. A case of pique rather than principle.
