Podcast feedInterview with Keir Starmer: Parliamentary candidate for the Labour Party in Holborn and St Pancras
There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat. He’s a Barrister, specialising in Human Rights issues and was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years before leaving the post in 2013. Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists. Our reporter, Ann Carroll, began by asking him what he feels he brings to Camden.
The full list of candidates is:
Natalie Bennett, Green Party
Will Blair, Conservative Party
Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party
Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party
Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol
David O’Sullivan, Socialist Equality Party
Maxine Spencer, UK Independence Party
Keir Starmer, Labour Party

Camden's Top Cheerleaders Are Off to Rome!!
We do love to celebrate New Year and what better group to help us do that than Cheerleaders? Now when we think of Cheerleaders we may associate them with America, but while its roots may be there, it’s a movement that‘s thriving in Britain, and even in our own backyard in Camden.
And it’s not just about entertainment. The activities promote health, community, family and acceptance. Our local group, London Infinity Elite, usually takes part in the New Year Parade in London, but this year they’ve been invited to Italy for the first ever event of its kind there. Just before the group took off their inspirational founder, Valerie Amajoutt, came into our studios and talked to Ann Carroll who asked; What was she expecting from this New Year’s Parade in Rome?
