Glenda launched her campaign by visiting Queens Park farmers' market with former local MP Ken Livingstone.

Pledging his support to Glenda's election campaign, Ken focused on her strong record over 18 years as an MP.

"The stakes at this election are very high, with a real threat of a Tory Government for the first time in over a decade. But I'm supporting Glenda because of her record and her personal qualities too."

"Glenda voted against the Iraq war, and there is nothing so remarkable as discovering an MP with a backbone."
