Hackney Campaign Trail
Hackney estate agent John Williams has agreed an unusual short let - he has decided to let out his own offices for the duration of general election campaign. His new tenant, Diane Abbott Labour candidate for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, will be running her election campaign from the premises and will be there on a daily basis to meet and talk to constituents.
From her new campaign headquarters Diane Abbott said: “John is a good friend and one of Hackney’s many dynamic young businessmen. It is a lovely office and my team and I are really enjoying being based here. We look forward to receiving visits from constituents.”
Explaining why he decided to let his offices to Diane, John Williams said: “I am a born and bred Hackney boy and have always been very impressed with Diane’s work as my local MP. I am not party political but I am very pleased to be able to support her campaign in this way. We are a young and energetic company and are very happy to be associated with Diane. She’s done such great work for the North London communities and has been very inspirational”.
