Patrick Hall, Bedford

I am the former Labour MP for Bedford & Kempston and now parliamentary candidate for what is a key marginal seat. My colleagues and I are both impressed and very grateful to Rachel for travelling on many occasions from her home in Letchworth to Bedford for campaigning purposes. Not only is she effective and pleasant with residents on the door step, but also well informed about political issues and Labour’s policies. She is bright, intelligent, reliable and totally committed; a real asset to the party.
