Tories wanted to give Boris Johnson a bloody nose by voting Labour, Lammy says
David Lammy, the shadow foreign secretary and LBC presenter, believes “soft” Tories in London were upset at Partygate, the Rwanda migrant policy and the cost of living crisis.
With results being counted across the capital and the rest of Britain, Sir Keir Starmer’s party have eyed Wandsworth, Barnet and even Westminster in their bid to turn the local authority map from blue to red. Mr Lammy said: “My sense is, knocking on doors in London, the undecided category of voters are coming over to Labour.
LBC’s Ben Kentish was told by Tory sources that they believed Barnet and Wandsworth would turn red – the latter having been Tory since 1978 – and Westminster might go too.
