Battle for Inner London: Greens targeting Labour stronghold boroughs in local elections
The Green Party, led by Zack Polanski, is gaining ground in inner London boroughs, traditionally dominated by Labour, with polls suggesting Labour could lose control of up to four councils on May 7. Labour insiders describe the situation as 'bleak' amid concerns over the party's plummeting popularity and the Prime Minister's 'toxic image' among voters.
The Green Party is making significant headway in inner London boroughs, where Labour has dominated for many years. Recent polls suggest Labour is set to lose a number of councils it currently controls on May 7. Labour insiders believe at least four councils could fall to the Greens for the first time, with areas like Hackney, Lambeth, and Lewisham being targeted. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has kept away from campaigning in the capital amid fears he has a toxic image among voters. Labour has focused its campaigning against the Greens on antisemitism, but Zack Polanski has rejected the claims. London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has admitted the polls 'scare' him and has made a plea to voters not to take their frustrations out on local authorities.
