Is this London's most embarrassing political video?
Darryl Chamberlain | Friday 6 May, 2011 12:08
Apart from the AV referendum, there were no elections in London yesterday, meaning the capital’s local politicians are spectators as the results from councils across England roll in.
But some were keener than others to pitch in elsewhere. The keenest rent-a-mob of all – the Labour Party in Lambeth.
Despite being panned by members of their own party for their cuts, they put their troubles behind them and took a charabanc down to Gravesend in Kent, to pitch in on the Gravesham council elections.
See if you can spot Ken Livingstone’s running mate Val Shawcross in among the soldiers of fortune. Mind you, we may laugh, but the result went their way in the end.
Seen any other London politicians in embarrassing videos? Send them on – The Scoop would love to share them with the capital’s voters.
