The photo was taken in the historic Old Town Hall in Stratford.
I hope this isn't seen as political boasting but:-
In the London Borough of Newham 60 out of the possible 60 elected Councillors are Labour Party candidates.
The directly elected Mayor, Sir Robin Wales is Labour. So are both MP's, Stephen Timms (who has the largest majority in the country) and Lyn Brown. The local directly elected London Assembly member, John Biggs, is Labour as is the directly elected Member for the European Parliament, Claude Moraes.
Is there something in the Newham - clear red water?
