On Thursday 5th May we once again went to the polls to vote for the administration of our local council.

Did you vote for the previous administration???

Did you change the way you voted?

Are you happy with the outcome in Southwark?

I sometimes vote Lib dem but not very often, Trinidad.


I would have probably voted Labour but the CPZ debacle followed by the LTNs and their obstinate refusals to listen to actual people who live here made it impossible. I also don't believe the current lot do anything for us at all and I remember how hard James Barber worked in comparison.

Waseley, Labour haven?t had a National record since 2009.


They have had a local record here in East Dulwich though and it is not good. Not good at all.


I can see why you would want to try to distract people from that but local Labour councillors will have to answer for it ultimately.

One thing I am aware of is that This neighborhood has better support services than others, particularly around mental health. There are walk-in hubs for children and services for adults. I don't know of many other boroughs that have this, nor whether they are also Labour wards. I'm not suggesting they are perfect, but mental health is a very pressing issue for most people are affected by it in some way.

I certainly won't be voting Conservative


Ruby Fuller was a local 19 year old, former head girl of the Charter School, who died at home obeying the lockdown rules, while Johnston and Sunak broke them, and then lied about it.

    • No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.       
    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.
