WHY do Rowenna Davis’s supporters try to portray her as a Sotonian? She’s not.

She is a Guardian and New Statesman journalist from London. She had never been here before her selection as a parliamentary candidate.

Royston Smith has been here helping residents for years. It doesn’t matter what her supporters say, she has been parachuted in by Ed Miliband and Ed Balls.

She knows nothing about the problems and strengths of our city.
