LABOUR has chosen a 22-year-old Oxbridge graduate to fight the seat of Sevenoaks at the next General Election.
Tim Stanley, who has just completed a history degree at Trinity College, Cambridge, was chosen at a meeting of the Labour party in Swanley.
Mr Stanley grew up in the constituency area and deputy leader of Sevenoaks District Council Labour Group Councillor Frank Parker believes he is an excellent choice.
Cllr Parker said: "Tim is by far the most talented prospective candidate we have ever selected to fight this constituency. He has awesome debating skills and will be more than a match for his opponents."
Labour finished second in Sevenoaks at the last election in 2001. The seat is currently held by Conservative Michael Fallon, with a majority of more than 10,000.
