Today Norwich South Labour Party met to select their candidate for the next General Election.
A local BBC TV news and politics presenter, Clive Lewis is considered to be on the centre-left of the party. He’s a former soldier – and fought in Afghanistan – but was against the Iraq War. He’s also – as you’d expect from his job – a polished media performer.
Congratulations to Clive and commiserations to the other candidates.
