EXCL: Senior Labour politicians across London warning govt not to take progressive voters for granted amid concerns they face “political earthquake” in May after surge for Greens. They have been privately circulating new data that suggests Labour could drop from first to fourth place in London – losing control of all but two of their councils – with the Greens soaring into first place to take nine. New modelling indicates Labour, which holds 21 boroughs, could lose flagship authorities like Hackney and Lambeth, although the Greens would struggle to field 1800 + candidates across capital. Reform could take one: Barking and Dagenham. However, Nigel Farage’s party could win 132 seats and be largest party in Havering. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…
