Brent & Harrow: 37% Khan, 42% Hall
Now that is surprising, I thought Brent was true-red Labour but it appears that it is to the right of places like Wandsworth.
Wandsworth has a particular memory from the 1994 (I think) local elections: I distinctly remember Tandridge, Wokingham and Wandsworth as the only district/borough councils in the London and South East which retained Tory control. Brent would presumably never have gone blue in 1994. How things change...
Croydon and Ealing also true-blue, which strikes me as equally odd. The latter includes John McDonnell's home patch.
I wonder if this will translate to some odd results in the GE, such as the Tories taking back various seats in south, west and northwest London which Labour currently hold? And at the same time, Labour gain Chingford from Iain Duncan Smith, which looks like it's in one of the red areas. Now that would be an odd mix of results.
Not sure it's even totally about ULEZ as certain parts of Outer London seem to have trended Labour, such as Enfield and even Barnet. Is it an indication of which areas of London are socially-liberal and which are socially-conservative, more than anything else?
But I am glad about Khan's ten-point lead especially after the system was changed to something more favourable for the Tories.
