Over the weekend Reform UK launched its big London election campaign in Fairfield Halls Croydon, saying it was confident of winning councils in the capital for the first time. Council elections will be held across London this May, with Reform confident of doing especially well in outer eastern boroughs, such as Bexley, Bromley and Havering. Labour cannot rest easy. Sir Keir Starmer’s party is also set to loss out to the Greens in much of inner London, with the Tories pretty much cast into irrelevance.

London may not seem natural Reform turf. Still, Londoners are at the forefront of Labour-Tory open borders catastrophe, as well as the lackadaisical attitude towards crime. Hence Laila Cunningham’s confidence of being competitive in the 2028 London mayoral election as the capital faces mugging and shoplifting scum, and ongoing social decay.

Predictably, Nigel Farage faced hecklers at Reform’s big event in Croydon, a part of London which has declined monumentally over the last thirty or so years.

In London and other major cities Reform of course needs to make a pitch on the cost of living, including affordable housing. Linking this to immigration may be a successful strategy.

Londoners are also aggrieved by the ULEZ scheme. Hence Reform’s ongoing pitch to ‘alarm clock Britain’ could play well among motorists facing such unwelcome transport costs.

Then of course are the twin issues of crime and the impact of mass migration, both of which are felt acutely by Londoners, including non-white Londoners who – contrary to Leftist propaganda – do not uniformly cheer an open door immigration policy. Shocker!

In Croydon then, Reform certainly made its voice heard. Will Londoners listen on May 7? Well those with eyes to see should want something done about the weak policing and social decay in the capital. And frankly, neither Sir Keir nor Sir Sadiq (soon to be Lord Khan!) are doing much about either.
