Local elections 2026: Starmer slams Polanski Greens and Farage's Reform UK for false 'shortcuts' to boost London
Sir Keir Starmer criticizes the Green Party and Reform UK for taking 'shortcuts' to tackle London's problems, accusing them of blocking home developments and driving a wedge between communities. Starmer appeals to Londoners to back Labour in the May 7 local elections to continue working with the Government on key issues.
Sir Keir Starmer has hit out at Zack Polanski's Greens and Nigel Farage's Reform UK for seeking to win over voters with false 'shortcuts' to tackle London's problems. The Prime Minister accused the Green Party of blocking crucial home developments to ease the capital's housing crisis and Reform of threatening to 'drive a wedge between communities' in London. Labour is braced for heavy losses in the May 7 local elections. Sir Keir appealed to Londoners to back his party so the 21 councils it controls in the city can carry on working with the Government on housing, transport, and other key issues. The Renters Rights Act would end no-fault evictions and target unfair rent hikes. Five million Londoners will benefit from the 'biggest uplift in workers' rights in a generation'.
