Leader: Tessa Jowell’s London calling

Tessa Jowell is the best choice to be Labour's candidate for the London mayoral election.

By New Statesman

On 11 September, the Labour Party will announce who has won the race to be its candidate for the London mayoral election in May 2016.

The field for the contest in London is strong but one candidate stands out: Tessa Jowell, who has built a broad-based movement of support. Polls also indicate that she is best placed to defeat the Conservatives and their likely candidate, Zac Goldsmith, next May.
