Sadiq Khan, Labour’s Shadow London Minister, said that positive polls would not mean the party would let up on campaigning in the coming weeks:
“This is promising news, but the only poll that matters is on May 7th. We are 100% focused on persuading Londoners that only Labour will fix the housing crisis in the capital. We won’t rest from our door-to-door, street-by-street campaigning until 10pm on May 7th.“
