73 constituencies in London.
Last time out Labour 49
Tories 21
So although Labour are clearly ahead, Tories still got 28%.
Due to crime and overpopulation (and they are still building in Tory areas of London) I see the Tory seats reducing over time.

Doubt it — Essex is nearer and doesn’t require crossing the Thames. Kent was for holidays hop picking… I have friends that live in Kent and lots of East Enders and Londoners have moved there, having sold up bought cheaper housing in Kent and commute into London for work, its the same right across London people are getting out , it is safer than living in London and a better quality of life. And it has so many foreign visitors arriving in their inflatables — no wonder even Deal offers houses for £360K... |

Our house is up for sale we are getting out of London as soon as we can, the price of housing right across most of England is high due to the acute shortage of housing and the demand to buy is high due to size of our population which will reach 70 million in a few years time

It’ll be interesting to see how long before you miss the convenience of city life… |

People moving to Dorset usually are happier Pat.
Take that renowned Socialist Billy Bragg - he spent his whole life promoting the wonders of a multi cultural society, and yet, when he had succeeded and turned Barking into the multi cultural shit-hole we see today he upped sticks and moved to Dorset. One of the whitest areas in the kingdom.

What if Uxbridge & South Ruslip were to be replicated at the next general election ?
The Conservatives would lose Kensington - Chipping Barnet - Chingford & Woodford Green - Hendon and Citys Of London & Westminster ( 5 constituencies ).
But what if Sadik Khan amended, altered or changed the introduction of the ULEZ around outer London, and let us say for example the swing to Labour ended up been just HALF OF WHAT IT WAS IN SELBY. ?
The Tories would lose 9 seats in London

One of the whitest areas in the kingdom. A Dorset anecdote... My son applied to join the Dorset Constabulary. He was told that all places for white entrants had been taken and was invited to reapply in two years time. Because he was white he didn't even get an interview. At the time it had been several months since I visited Dorset, I naturally assumed that sleepy English shire had suddenly turned into a hotbed of racial tension. |

Well it may ruffle your feathers Pat, but unfortunately it's very true, and I'll trot it out as often as I like. |

I think the fact that our government / public services are openly applying racist hiring standards can stand a bit of repetition. It's certainly something to note.

Hope you're not taking the attitudes of those Londoners moved into London County Council estates at Stangrove Park and Spitals Cross near Edenbridge. These — and the then created industrial estates — so altered life in the market town that later development proposals still tend to find their way to the High Court... |

Hardly - the only black and brown faces you see around here work in the care homes.. Are we to infer from that, that the only White faces are those of the inmates? It would seem so, as the largest age group appears to be the 70-75 — though they do seem to rapidly drop off the twig after... |
