Labour set for record London seats as Greens poll zero

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 11:19 · Archive

A poll suggests Labour could win a record 59 or 60 of London's 75 seats, while the Green Party may win none.

An Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now poll suggests Labour could win a record 59 or 60 of London's 75 seats, up from the current record of 59. The surge in support follows Andy Burnham becoming prime minister. Labour's support in the capital stands at 34 per cent, up nine percentage points since July, whilst the Greens have fallen three points to 18 per cent. The Conservatives are down two points to 16 per cent.

The analysis indicates the Conservatives could lose two seats including possibly Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp in Croydon South, and fail to regain several others in inner London. Reform UK would gain one seat, Bexleyheath and Crayford, from Labour by 28 per cent to 26 per cent. The Liberal Democrats would hold six constituencies in south west London.

The Green Party, which one previous poll predicted could win as many as 21 seats in London, may end up with zero under this survey. One poll suggested Labour could beat Jeremy Corbyn in Islington North by 36 per cent to 18 per cent, which would take Labour to 60 seats.
