INDEPENDENT candidate Hugh Easterbrook – standing on a ‘smarter Brexit’ ticket – warned the next government will become “so distracted by Brexit that the real burning issues affecting our country will not be addressed.”

He was speaking as candidates in the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency were given 60 seconds to provide voters with a final pitch at the end of the South Kilburn hustings on Wednesday night.

“As an independent candidate, some people think I’m wrong and a lot of people think I’m unstable,” he said. “But I’m neither wrong nor unstable,  I’m just very worried about our country and the current approach to Brexit.”
