A YouGov MRP poll projects Labour's worst London local election result since the 1970s, with elections on 7 May. The Greens are within striking distance of Labour in up to nine inner London boroughs including Hackney, Lambeth and Lewisham. Reform UK is targeting outer boroughs including Barking and Dagenham, Bromley and Havering. YouGov cautions highest vote share does not guarantee council control.
