    Roxanne Mashari has endorsed Tulip Siddiq, who is in the running for the Labour PPC in Hampstead and Kilburn. According to Siddiq's website, Mashari has said:

    “The way Tulip saved Camden’s libraries is a real inspiration to me, and I will be looking to emulate her Library Forum in Brent as a lead member.”

      Except that the one library Tulip Siddiq didn't "save" was the only one in a working class area - the regents park estate.

      Mr Firmin,

      I live in the ward you're talking about and I've seen the cabinet briefing where Labour has committed to building a new library in the vicinity which will be much better than the old dirty building.
