Commenting on the chaos caused by a leadership challenge in the local Labour party, Lib Dem leader Cllr Neil Williams said:

“We predicted that if this shambolic Labour group were re-elected there would be chaos – and within just a few days of the local elections, that is exactly what has happened.

“It is a great shame for the Council, which needs a united and determined team committed to improving services in the borough, not hell bent on fighting each other.It just shows that Haringey Labour is totally committed to carrying on in the arrogant and complacent way they always have in the past.”
