Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee has banned its councillors from forming alliances with the Greens, resulting in the party doing a deal with the Tories to remain in power at a west London local authority.
Seven London councils - Brent, Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Wandsworth, Lambeth and Southwark - fell from Labour to no overall control at the local elections on May 7, meaning minority administrations and coalitions need to be formed.
