Former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein is endorsed by OCISA members to stand against Keir Starmer in his constituency of Holborn and St Pancras

The basic idea is to mount a unity left wing socialist candidate in Holborn St Pancras against all comers but particularly Keir Starmer.

This will involve forming a structure to enable fundraising, electoral compliance and campaigning of sufficient weight to attract an high profile candidate. These steps are underway.

The candidate would be nominated by the groups formed in support of OCISA including the Facebook group but also a local presence and a list of backers. 

The offer we would make to the candidate elected would have to carry sufficient credibility to allow the candidate to have a fighting chance of unseating Starmer - so perhaps a war chest of £50,000, a local constituency office (set up and ready to go), an election agent and the resources to campaign with boots on the ground locally, would attract the right person.

Once a candidate is elected through channels the complimentary mission of building the structure will have been completed and it is on to phase 2, the campaign against Starmer.

If, as anticipated, our candidate is a well known robust left wing figure we would want them to have their own ideas as to the best way to attack Starmer, so as a hypothetical example, say we asked Dr Bob Gill to stand for us (giving him the war chest and the structure) it would be open to him to direct his campaign almost entirely to pointing out the attacks on the NHS and make that the issue that buries Starmer.

Given that the national spotlight will be on Holborn St Pancras it is the ideal vehicle for him to do that.
