Labour’s ‘best London results since 1971’

Despite the Toxic Right of the Labour Party adding to the negative mix on MSM over AS.
Millions of voters have been to the polls in a night that as seen Labour gains and the best result in London’s local elections for the Party since 1971.

“Labour have achieved a solid set of results and consolidated the advances made at last year’s general election.
