The decision in the latest boundary changes to create a cross-Borough seat including wards from both Ealing and Hammersmith-Fulham caused great controversy and massive problems for the Conservatives, especially the sitting Acton MP Sir George Young. As in a number of other cases in London, the lines could hardly have been drawn in a better manner for Labour.
This clumsily named new seat takes the better Labour areas from both the former Acton and the former Hammersmith (White City, Wormwood Scrubs and Shepherd's Bush). It should be safe for the current Hammersmith MP, Clive Soley, who has chosen to contest it. By contrast, Sir George Young, a Cabinet Minister (Transport), has taken flight to the more pastoral acres of North West Hampshire. We can only agree with his assessment of the likely outcome in the first general election in Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush.
