Labour shadow minister Chris Leslie gave his backing to Matt Turmaine’s parliamentary campaign at a dinner last week.

Mr Leslie, the Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, attended a fundraiser for Mr Turmaine in Clarendon Road on Thursday.

The Nottingham East MP was joined by MEP Richard Howitt.

Mr Turmaine said: "It was fantastic to have Chris and Richard here in Watford. It's clear the economy is one of the major issues affecting Watford residents.

“Chris and Richard bring a great understanding of the current problems we face, together with the positive solutions only Labour can deliver."
