Labour now controls only ten London town halls

London's political map has changed greatly, following Labour's significant losses across its boroughs in recent local elections. The party, which had controlled 21 of the capital’s 32 councils, now holds just ten. Brent, Enfield, Haringey, Southwark, and Lambeth are now without overall control, and Labour lost more than 200 seats in the capital.
