I saw the front page of the Camden New Journal had a photo of the Hampstead and Kilburn candidates. I don't envy either Ed Fordham or Chris Philp their positions. To lose out so narrowly must be gut wrenching. Particularly for Ed I imagine.
He first moved to Camden shortly before the 2005 election, and since then has dedicated himself to getting a political position. As Glenda's election Agent, I had a hand in keeping him in third place in the 2005 result, and he had more disappointment when he lost the Council seat of Hampstead Town. Now after years of dedicated grind, he finds himself once again in third place.
Like some of the Brent Liberal Democrat Council candidates, he must be wondering if Sarah Teather had pulled in less resource from his campaign into hers, would he have been elected? We shall never know, but the CNJ photograph showed his feelings well enough.
