No bounce for Brown: Labour majority in Ealing Southall slashed as Lib Dems surge

11.59.07am BST (GMT +0100) Sat 21st Jul 2007

Nigel Bakhai and the Liberal Democrats have slashed the Labour majority in Ealing Southall to just 5,070 votes. The Tories, despite the personal intervention of David Cameron, trailed home in third, picking up 22% of the vote.

Commenting, Lib Dem Leader Menzies Campbell said:

"This result is a disaster for David Cameron's Conservative Party. They put everything into this seat and got nothing out of it. Not only are they totally marginalized in the north of England, they are going nowhere in the south."

The result was:

  • Liberal Democrat Nigel Bakhai: 10,118

  • Labour (Virendra Sharma): 15,188

  • Conservative (Tony Lit): 8,230
