A woman walked into the Labour Party office in Battersea and delivered a bag of what appeared to be cat poo.

Wandsworth Times:

The faeces did not seem to be fresh and was contained in a bubble wrap and paper packaging.

The disgusting parcel was delivered on Sunday, March 22, to the Lavender Hill office.

It has been reported to the police.

Will Martindale, Battersea’s Labour Parliamentary candidate, said: "With so many important issues at stake at this election, it's a shame that some people descend to such a trivial level."

They are not the only ones to fall foul of a dirty tricks campaign.

A similar stunt took place in February at Twickenham's Conservative Office, in Teddington, when dog faeces was smeared on the door. The incident was also reported to police.
