Simon Hughes and Nigel Bakhai campaigning in Ealing Southall

Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Menzies Campbell, Party President, Simon Hughes, and Nigel Bakhai spent a full day campaigning in the Ealing Southall by-election on Saturday.

Together they met with leading members of Ealing Southall's Hindu and Sikh community and renewed the call for people to elect local campaigner Nigel Bakhai as an MP for the whole community.

Leader of the Liberal Democrats Menzies Campbell, said:

"The Conservatives have admitted they can't win. Nigel offers the only alternative to years more neglect under Labour.

"Labour has had ten years to act. They have failed."

Commenting on the disclosure that Tony Lit donated £4,800 to the Labour Party on the 15th June 2007, and attended a fundraiser with Tony Blair on the 20th June 2007, Simon Hughes, Party President said:

"It is astonishing that Nigel Bakhai is the only one of the main candidates not to have donated money to the Labour party.

"Nigel's campaign is rapidly gather momentum, and with proof that Tony Lit donated to the Labour party coming after their admission the party cannot win, the Tories are in free fall."
