As Labour now runs the UK government and City Hall, what impact will this have on London?
As part of what turned out to be his failed bid for political survival, the now former Tory minister for London, Greg Hands, had offered a warning to voters.
Labour now have 59 of the capital’s 75 MPs; run 21 of its 33 local authorities, and Sadiq Khan has just been returned for a third term at City Hall. In the determination to be seen as financially disciplined, Labour’s frontbench Treasury team has made clear that extra investment will be limited, certainly for the foreseeable future.
The pledge to overhaul planning and identify “grey” bits of green belt land that should be capable of being developed will probably lead to tensions but could free up significant areas for more homes in the capital.
