I cannot wait to see the back of the Tories however stuck between the Greens (despite main policies) or the Workers Party to vote for. Green Party   |

The 5pm speech was pretty awful! Couldn't someone of at least gave Rishi a umbrella or held one for him? The background music was very distracting and to be honest seeing a soaking wet Prime Minster walking back into Number 10 pretty much sums up the state of the government after 14 years in power.  |

Tbh I don't think london is where the election lies. Labour will obviously retain all their current seats and possibly grab Finchley and Golders and Cities of London and Westminster aswell Green, Conservatives are likely to retain Croydon South and their seats in the Bromley and Bexley area with the Lib dems gaining Sutton & Cheam and Carshalton & Wallington. |

I’m not convinced that the Lib Dems will gain Sutton & Cheam, the Lib Dems aren’t as well liked as people think around these parts. There are some very conservative parts of the constituency and the candidate is very well liked in his current council seat. The Lib Dems could take Carshalton & Wallington though. |

That's interesting to know. I know Paul Scully had a 3000 majority so still retainable for the Conservatives. I know when the data was analysed for Sutton and Croydon mayoral/London ass. results that the Labour vote had dropped further. |

Indeed Labour has zero chance of winning in Sutton & Cheam so they will throw their weight behind the Lib Dems, although they haven’t selected a new candidate yet after they deselected their previous candidate because he was Christian. |

I’d say if Labour manage to gain Finchley and Golders Green and possibly Hendon, (and I guess safe to say Chipping Barnet an new possible win as well)it is a very good indicator of heading into government. Barnet borough has always been a nice litmus test since 1997 for Labour and Conservatives. More so as loads of respected MPs standing down. (weather you agree or disagree) I wouldn’t focus too much elsewhere in London personally as changed hands in past, loads of community background changes since 2016. |

Why was he deselected for that? Long story short he was formerly a member of the Christian People’s Alliance and as a result he was routinely subject to abuse from LGBTQ+ and others in the local chapter who didn’t agree with his opinions so they deselected him. |

This thread will be most interesting to watch.
As a side note, I am standing for election to Parliament as a Labour candidate in the East Surrey constituency - not quite London but still with several red TfL bus routes!

I think you’ll make a great candidate and MP for East Surrey if you’re elected  |

After the issues with Phillipa Stroud and her rather odd cure Gays past I'm sure they didn't want to take any chances. |

I will wish you all the best with that. It has until now been very much a Conservative safe seat - but this year you could well take it for Labour. |
