Labour’s suppression of London exposed the fragmented British politics

One in seven Labor MPs represent constituencies in the capital. The Prime Minister is an MP for London, his deputy is David Lammy, as is the man who is looking for Starmer’s job, Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Secretary of State for Housing, Steve Reid completes the quartet of London MPs in the Cabinet. A significant percentage of party activists and members who elect party leaders live in the capital. Losses here will hurt Labour’s core.
