London Labour has seen another defection as a veteran councillor became the latest to announce she was leaving the party.
Former Lambeth Mayor Tina Valcarcel, who was first elected as a councillor in 2006, has joined the Liberal Democrats saying Labour is "no longer the party I joined".

You got that one wrong..

Lib dems +14.5%
Tories-5%
Labour-19.5%
Reform +11%.

Makes Keir Starmer and Labour look cowardly, weak and racist.

These comments show just how the Conservatives has moved away from the fundamental values of decency, tolerance and respect for the rule of law that the vast majority of people in our country hold dear.

The truth is, Labour is a party with no ideology, no purpose — just slogans, spin, and a logo. It’s a brand without a cause.

Labour Party members and MPs often speak about socialism, but few of them truly understand what it actually means. Are they social democrats or democratic socialists? They don’t seem to know — and use both terms whenever it suits them.

The trouble is, climate change is too serious for slogans and populism. A “greenish” left-wing stance might make headlines, but it won’t fix the problem.
