Green and Lib Dem Coalition Takes Charge
Description
Southwark Council has flipped the script after a historic election, with the Green Party and Liberal Democrats forming a joint administration to end 16 years of Labour rule. James McAsh, a former Labour-turned-Green councillor, was elected leader with cross-party backing, while Liberal Democrat Victor Chamberlain takes the deputy role. With no single party holding a majority, the new coalition now commands a clear majority and has pledged to tackle housing, affordability, safety, and climate action — with key roles assigned to cross-party councillors. Meanwhile, outgoing Labour leader Sarah King voiced disappointment, arguing the coalition undermines democratic will and warns of financial instability and broken promises.
