Conservative party chairman, Oliver Dowden, said the local election results 'don't show that Labour has the momentum to form the next Government'.
The party turned Wandsworth red, with the south London borough having been under Conservative control since 1978.
Labour was confident throughout the night, into Friday morning, it would seize control of the "jewel in the Tory cornw" Wandsworth.The Conservative leader in Barnet, Daniel Johnson, blamed the cost of living crisis and partygate for Conservative losses, describing them as a "perfect storm". "But actually if you look across the country it's quite a mixed picture, we made gains in places like Nuneaton, in Hartlepool, in parts of outer, the fringes of London and I think if you take the picture of all of that it really doesn't show that Labour has the momentum to form the next Government."
He said the cost of living crisis is "biting into Tory voters" as the public "feel the cuts being made by the Tory Government".On a visit to the count in Barnet, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the result was "very special" and the party is "back on track".
