I’VE been quite surprised these past few weeks to read and be told by several local Labour supporters that Labour can win Oxford West and Abingdon, despite the most recent local election results as well as Ashcroft constituency polling showing they are more than some way off the pace.

Perhaps this is why their activists have been consistently campaigning in Reading West constituency these past few months.

This misrepresentation must stop, as only the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives in Oxford West and Abingdon.

There is just one way to ensure that Oxford is not represented for five more long years by a Tory and that is to form a coalition around the only credible challenger, Layla Moran of the Liberal Democrats.
