We’re still waiting for the full picture, but there’s no doubt that these election results are bitterly disappointing for Labour in London.
I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all the great Labour councillors who have lost their seats for their hard work and dedication over many years. This includes people who I’ve worked with closely throughout my time as Mayor to deliver for our city, including introducing free school meals, building record numbers of council home and creating opportunities for young people.
Labour is only able to deliver when we win elections, whether that be general, mayoral or local. Losing control of councils in London will limit our ability to serve the public in the way we want.
Mid-term elections can sometimes be difficult for the party in national government, but this is different. These results speak to a far-reaching disillusionment and fracturing in our politics, which cannot be downplayed, spun or dismissed.
Labour has lost votes in London to a variety of different parties, but the biggest change has been Labour voters switching to the Greens.
Many people who voted Labour at the last general election clearly feel angry, disappointed and let down. They want a Labour government to address the cost-of-living crisis while demonstrating the core values the party was established to promote. Too many of the government’s achievements have been overshadowed by basic mistakes and a failure to boldly assert our progressive values.
Londoners are also frustrated with the slow pace of change and are impatient to see the delivery they were promised. London has been taken for granted for too long. This must change. We need more investment in our public services and infrastructure, which would not only boost the economy and living standards for Londoners, but lead to jobs, wealth and prosperity right across the country.
Without a change in course and an acceleration in delivery, the threat to Labour is existential. Labour is the only party capable of delivering the change our capital city and country needs, and the only party that can unite progressives and close the door to the darkness and division of Reform.
Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough, who has inspired millions of us to not just see the beauty in the countless lifeforms that make up our natural world - but to acknowledge our responsibility to preserve and protect it.
Thank you Sir David - and Happy Birthday! 🌍
