Reform Wins First London Council Seat in Blow to Kemi

mdi-fullscreen

In a grim sign of the times for Kemi, the Tories were beaten by Reform in the Bromley Common & Holwood council by-election last night – handing the party their first ever elected London council seat. Reform took 34% of the vote, while the Tories collapsed by 11.8 points to 29.4%. That’s a brutal 22.9% swing…

Despite Kemi herself campaigning for the Tory candidate yesterday, Reform’s Alan Cook is now the newly elected ward councillor. A Reform source told Guido:

“Kalamity Kemi and CCHQ threw the kitchen at this campaign and still lost. We look forward to seeing the results next May across London.”

No sign of the reshuffle shifting Tory fortunes yet…
