Theresa May has released a campaign video as the Tory Party faces a devastating wipeout in London in next week’s local elections - and the clip has a huge, clanging, embarrassing problem.

The Prime Minister appears to be trying to claim credit for a Labour council's work.

In the video, Mrs May proudly boasts Tory councils have the lowest council tax and the best services.

Her claims are accompanied by video footage showing some beautiful, calm and clean streets and modern blocks of flats with water features and balconies.

You know, the kind of thing you get with a Tory council that Labour just can’t deliver. Right?

Unfortunately for Mrs May, among the streets she’s chosen to showcase how great Tory councils are - is a street slap bang in the middle of one of Labour’s biggest strongholds.

As she’s saying the words “…delivering the best local services whilst keeping your council tax low…”, viewers are treated to the newly built Trafalgar Place, near Elephant and Castle in London.

That puts it in Southwark, a council which has been held by Labour for 46 of the last 54 years.

The Conservative Party have a grand total of two councillors in the borough.

Southwark Labour MP Neil Coyle said: “The wheels have fallen off the Tory election bus.

“They're trying to claim credit for a Labour council's work because their councils charge more, deliver less and are deeply unpopular like May's Government.

“The message from their broadcast was clear: if you want good services at reasonable rates, vote Labour.”
