Bookies slash odds on shock defeat for Sadiq Khan in London as Tories close gap

by

BOOKIES slashed their odds last night on a shock defeat for Sadiq Khan in London.

Senior Tories claimed the race for Mayor of London was far closer than originally thought and would be a major upset for the pollsters who had Labour heading for a landslide.

Mr Khan’s hated ULEZ expansion and 20mph zones were said to have “galvanised” voters in the suburbs, according to Tory strategists.

Meanwhile it was claimed a similar collapse in Muslim voter support for Labour seen in English cities could be repeated in east London.

Mr Khan’s team also insisted the battle for City Hall was tight – amid an increased turnout in the outer boroughs of the Capital and a slump in voting in the inner city.

The so-called London “donut” sees Labour’s support concentrated in the centre of London while the Tories keeping a grip on the outer-ring.

In Bexley and Bromley turnout was up four points to 48.38 per cent.

While in Tower Hamlets it slumped four to 31.17.

And in limited data from council by-elections, Hillingdon in West London showed Labour down 8 per cent, while the Tories were unexpectedly 10 per cent up in one ward in Wandsworth.

Tory strategists last night believed Khan would achieve a third term running London, but the bookies odds tightened yesterday on a massive shock upset by their candidate Susan Hall.

At the start of Friday, Mr Khan was 1/25, according to Betfair, while this morning he was down to 1/10.

Conservative rival Susan Hall was an outside rival at 19/1 – but this morning was 7/1.

The first hint of Labour panic came in an attack from Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Thursday.

He was slammed after claiming: “A win for Susan Hall and the Conservatives is a win for racists, white supremacists and Islamophobes the world over.”

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “While Sadiq Khan remains the firm favourite to win the London Mayoral Election, Betfair Exchange Punters aren’t completely ruling Susan Hall out and she remains a contender in the market, suggesting there could be some doubts creeping in.”
