Television presenter Esther Rantzen is throwing her support behind the Lib Dem candidate in Finchley and Golders Green. She said:
As a floating voter myself, I believe we need to support outstanding individuals to ensure we elect the best politicians with integrity and determination.
Although I do not live in her constituency, I am greatly impressed by Luciana’s courage and commitment in standing for election when she has in the past as an MP suffered appalling abuse and prejudice.
She has put herself in the firing line for fearlessly exposing anti-Jewish racism.
It might have been tempting to decide to leave politics when women, especially Jewish women, have come under so much vicious attack. Instead she has decided to fight prejudice and resist hatred and xenophobia.
Her track record shows that she will stand up for the principles she believes in, and will particularly defend the most vulnerable in our society. She clearly has integrity, energy, good sense and dedication. We need those qualities and strength in Parliament, especially now.
