A poll by More in Common predicts that Andy Burnham's Labour party will retain 52 out of 59 seats in London during an upcoming election. The poll indicates a limited impact for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, which is expected to win only one seat amidst growing financial allegations the party denies. Despite strong support shown in May local elections, the Green Party is projected to fail to secure any MPs. Previous surveys had suggested the Greens could win up to 21 seats in London. Sammy McDonald from More in Common notes that while Labour currently has a lead over the Greens, challenges remain for Labour's marginal seats and progressive voter consolidation in Inner London, particularly in Holborn and St Pancras. The poll also reveals that Labour will still lose seven seats compared to their performance in the July 2024 general election.
