Labour have invited Labour members to go out of London to campaign as too many campaign in London – 700 in putney last night.
Seats outside of London members are being invited to because they close
Target seats
Watford
Milton Keynes South
Milton Keynes North
Defences
Bedford
Peterborough
Ipswich
Canterbury
Coventry South
Stoke-on-Trent Central
Stoke-on-Trent North
Derby North
Birmingham Northfield
Lincoln
West Bromwich West
Wolverhampton North East
Wolverhampton South West
Labour’s blairte group, progress, emailed members to invite people to campaign in Croydon Central , Ilford North, Canterbury, Bristol North West,Wrexham, Vale of Clwyd ,Stoke on Trent North, Wolverhampton North East, Ashfield, Leicester West, Don Valley, Great Grimsby, Wakefield, Sedgefield , Wirral South, and Edinburgh South.
Momentum have been criticised for preferentially campaigning in seats with Momentum candidates, but it looks like Progress are doing exactly the same.
Very much so – through a few of these are more soft left like Rosie Dufield or Sarah Jones.
No overall change in London. The Tories traded Putney for Labour’s Kensington, and Richmond Park for the Lib Dems’ Carshalton & Walllington.
Not in seats but LAB vote share down significantly also in London.
