It's a turn-up for the books when a Labour candidate champions the interests of traditional Chelsea Tory voters.
Residents' lives are to be turned upside down and so are looking to Coleman for help.
Coleman has managed to convince locals their interests at a local level are better served by a moderate Labour politician.
Husband has started a fire which will burn long and hard.
Even now we are hearing about local people looking to oppose Conservative councillors at the next election.
It's reminiscent of Sloane Sq all those years ago.....
Sadly he came on to this scene too late to have any effect. He and Hands need to wake up to the fact that Chelsea and Fulham is about mire then just Fulham

Money matters to Hands - nothing else. So Hands did down his constituents like every Supine Good Tory Bloke Tory learns to do at Dr Challoner's. Letting constituents think you back them when privately you want the other side to win does not augur well for his election prospects.

Boris Johnson, like Gregory Hands, was imbued in Public School morality adhering to the code of being a Good Tory Bloke; except when it came to doing down Theresa May. Self interest came to the fore.

Just the man to challenge and transform our useless council. Such a contrast to Greg Hands who always claims achievements earned by others and " passes by on the other side of the road" when anything difficult comes along
