Ewan Cameron, the Conservative candidate, said he was the only candidate in the by-election talking about the housing crisis.
He told BBC London: “My opponents, what are they doing? They’re talking about segregation. They’re on the ballot paper, they want to have religion. Religion’s not what we should be discussing.
“We should be in a position where every day, whether you’re Jewish, whether you’re Muslim, whether you have no faith, we all have the same issues. And again and again those issues are, what?
“Holborn and St Pancras is no longer family-friendly, there’s not enough family homes.”
Cameron, who was a Camden councillor for the Belsize ward from 1998 to 2002 and sat on the council’s development control committee, said crime was another priority in his campaign.
“If you come out of work at night and walk home and you don’t feel safe, who do you blame? I blame Labour. Labour has been the local MP, they have control of the local council, you’ve got Sadiq Khan who’s the local Labour mayor; again and again London’s not safe.
“The fact that the police sometimes come, but not always. But the blatant, the blatantness of the theft, it leaves you speechless.”
Cameron added: “Camden [Council] sits on its hands and my biggest concern is the fact that if Labour win Holborn and St Pancras, they’ll just be complacent.”
The Holborn and St Pancras by-election will be held on Thursday 8 October.
