Commentary

The ward breadown will be published later but I understand Greens came second in Kensal Green and Queens Park.

In  Alperton and Sudbury there were significant nymbers of people who voted twice, once for a political party and again for one of the independent candidates.  Some people, perhaps confused with local election voting, voted for three parties.

Brent Council cabinet member Cllr Krupesh Hirani, a prospective candidate for Brent and Harrow constituency in the forthcoming GLA election, claimed on social media that Labour's performance in Brent was the best in the country.
