even in an election about local services, having the lowest council tax in the country didn t keep it blue. the cost of living crisis did come up, as did the massive cuts from the government since 2010. and also boris johnson. borisjohnson was a vote winner for labour, as indeed was keir starmer as well. and i remind you, huw, in 1998, a year after our landslide victory, we didn t win this seat in wandsworth. in 2002, after our landslide victory in 2001, we didn t win this seat in wandsworth, and we ve done it in 2022. wandsworth s former leader blamed the loss on the cost of living and said what he called the issue of borisjohnson was raised. that was echoed by tory councillors elsewhere. it s partygate, it s notjust partygate. there is the integrity issue. basically, ijust don t feel people any longer have the confidence that their prime minister can be relied upon to tell the truth.
