Labour wins Brunswick Park by election

The Conservatives are truly on the slide in Barnet, as Labour won the Brunswick Park ward seat from them today (31st May).

The result:

Andreas Ioannidis (Lab) 1,769
Shaheen Mahmood (Cons) 1,598
Yahaya Kiingi (LibDem) 97

Turnout was 29%... hmm... Oh, well.

Labour must give some of the credit for this victory to the Barnet Alliance, who leafleted every house with their leaflet against the One Barnet privatisation programme.

It is an excellent result. Congratulations to Andreas!
