A fairly close shave for Labour here, held by 1689 over an Independent.

Labour received a share of the vote here nearly identical to what they got in Bethnal Green and Bow in 2005, and interestingly enough the Lib Dems didn't fall too far short of doing so as well.

I have inside sources Rabina Khan specifically was encouraged to run for LDs to split the vote. The Lib Dem vote increased by a meagre 1% while the Green were up 9% - I don't think Labour's close shave had much to do with Khan. |

The LD vote outside of their target seats went down everywhere, it stayed more or less the same because of Khan, that was than plan. I agree Labour close shave had more to do with the Green increase, but you can't dismiss Khan's local popularity esp in Shadwell where she was councillor and almost won a council seat in 2022. |

Actually there were quite a few seats where the Liberal Democrats' vote increased despite it not being a target- Salisbury and Worcester come to mind. |

I was thinking more in London where the anti-brexit surge in inner London in 2019 was replaced by a Green surge. Look at the LD results in all the seats the surround BG&S and compare it this seat, apart from Bermondsey where their local strength meant they retained 2nd. |
