The BBC has identified Luton South as one of the key marginals in the local area (‘Battles for marginal seats in Beds, Bucks and Herts‘) saying;

“The question is how well Labour’s majority of 5,698 votes in Luton South will hold up for Labour’s new candidate, Gaven Shuker.

Nigel Huddleston, the Conservative Party candidate, and Liberal Democrat candidate Qurban Hussain are also hoping to win the seat.”
