Labour is “confident” of taking Barnet council from the Conservatives for the first time in its history, while Tories admit they face a “difficult night”.
The north London council has never had an outright Labour majority and would be a key scalp for Keir Starmer’s party amid the chaos of partygate and the cost of living crisis.
Barnet Labour group leader Barry Rawlings told LondonWorld: “I was feeling confident earlier and I’m still confident now.”
