The projection has the #greens gaining control of no fewer than nine boroughs currently controlled by #labour . These are #brent , #greenwich , #hackney , #hammersmithandfulham , #hounslow , #lambeth , #lewisham , #walthamforest and #wandsworth . #labour retains control of two - #newham and #redbridge . Remaining boroughs are projected to be under no overall control. This would represent the weakest position for #labour in #london since the 1968 to 1971 period.
It could not possibly be that one of the two local authorities most affected - #wandsworth which is expected to increase #counciltax by 75% over two years according to estimates by the #ifs - may have had the temerity to develop an approach to the provision of #socialhousing and to the role of #privatedevelopers very different from that favoured by #stevereed - although that would be consistent with an article in the opinion section of the #guardian today. That is surely inconceivable!
Of the six local authorities affected one (the #CityofLondon ) is not under the control of any party. The #RoyalBoroughofKensingtonandChelsea is under #conservative control while the #RoyalBoroughofwindsorandmaidenhead is under a #liberaldenocrat administration supported by some residents' groups. The remaining three local authorities (the #CityofWestminster , #Hammersmithandfulham and #wandsworth ) are under #labour control. The majority of the population affected lives in these last three,
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈They should have drones next year, like north of the River did. The Ally Park drone display looked brilliant!
If you upset the animals in Battersea Dogs and Cats home Tom Hardy might come round...

Labour or Tory, I cannot tell the difference, both seemingly as shit and incompetent as each other, but then we're an incompetent nation, so....

Out in Battersea Park tonight to see the fireworks, done 10,000 steps and now quite tired!
For once I have a really good piece of local news to share. Residents of the #altonestate in #roehampton have noted overwhelmingly - a 82% yes vote - in favour of a wholly public sector regeneration scheme! This has to be regarded as a feather in the cap of the #labour administration in #wandsworth !😂
I had best declare an interest in that #wandsworth - where I live - is one of the #boroughs in #innerlondon most affected. If pushed I would be willing to campaign in a local referendum for an increase of more than 5% in council tax if the alternative were major cuts in services. I might not like doing so but would be inclined to prefer the unpalatable to the disastrous!
