another Khan win

Another vote in one of London's mayoral regions has gone Sadiq Khan's way.

The Labour mayor has beaten Tory Susan Hall by 54,481 to 43,405 in West Central.

Who is still voting Tory? Who is looking at this and think.. yes, more years of this.
It makes zero sense

South west london declares, khan wins

There's your mistake.

[Ray K]

Was it Kuennsberg who was passing on briefing that Hall might beat Khan based on absolutely nothing but hopes and dreams?
She must be devastated

[west_london_red]

South West London (home town to yours truly) switched from Tory to Labour in the Mayoral elections.

Significant because it’s an areas that’s been impacted by ULEZ but still switched.

[Kenny's Jacket]

You've got to remember it covers Sefton and that has Hightown, Formby, Ainsdale and Southport in it, so you're going to find a load of dyed in the woll Tories in there who will vote Tory no matter what.

That I really struggle to understand. Then again, my dickhead Dad is from Walton (lives in the Swan now) and votes Tory

after Liz Windsor died I noticed houses dead close to the ground had Union Jacks and bunting displayed in Windows. 
So I looked it up. 

[TSC]

5% swing from Tory to Labour so far in London.  Khan’s increasing his majority.  So much for the speculation yesterday.

Caveat of course, still some results to come in

[TSC]

For first time apparently in council elections, the Lib Dem’s have ended up with more seats than the Tories

[oldfordie]

But it shows that there are 27,708 voting age people in the Merseyside region happily vote tory 

I think ive learned more about the people of this country in the last 8yrs than all the decades before.
I think some believe all the Torys nasty talk shows they mean business, if they mean business then they will tackle the problem head on and sort it out. they respect them for it.
The obvious flaw in the logic is they never seem to connect the dots and look at the results, they carry on listening to the excuses and nasty speeches and back the next nasty solution.

Enfield and Haringey declares, khan 82k, Hall 41k


Beeb declares Khan has won the mayor race

BBC now calling it for Khan

Used to live in Ainsdale, Lib Dem it is although Sefton council currently has a large Labour majority of councillors

Hah Hah.
I'll give the rat faced little c*nt that one!
Fuck the Tories and fuck Susan Hall!

[thaddeus]

Well done to Sadiq Khan.  Susan Hall as mayor of our capital would have been a national embarrassment.

The only election near me was for PCC.  Tory incumbent narrowly held on but turnout was really low.

[Yorkykopite]

A swing to Khan and the Labour Party! That's fucking hilarious.

And extremely delightful.

[koptommy93]

glad hall lost but i think there should be a two term limit on mayors.

[filopastry]

West Midlands mayoral potentially looks pretty competitive, although not too much data so far

Sounds like Street will win it, just. Will be interesting to see the numbers.

If he doesnt, then get the popcorn out.

[Baby Huey]

Remember that myself, some strange people around.

More than a few sectarians living in Walton, Rob. They tend to vote Blue.

[west_london_red]

Hall wins Harrow with a 1.1% swing to her

[rob1966]

Used to live in Ainsdale, Lib Dem it is although Sefton council currently has a large Labour majority of councillors

I lived in Southport in Meols Cop. Yes, the town is Lib Dem, but the Tories used to always come second, so plenty of Tory voters there.

[Draex]

Hopefully it shows the over 65s who have kept the torys in power are starting to die off.

[TepidT2O]

[killer-heels]

Labour had a 5% swing in Solihull in the mayoral election. Interesting that.

[killer-heels]

Hall now getting trashed by Tories.

NEW: Senior Labour source says the Conservatives have asked for a recount in the West Midlands - which would suggest the Tories fear Andy Street may have lost.

I’m told fewer than 3,000 votes in it.

Fuck me if they lose this im ordering a pizza and kicking the family out the house and watching the news channels all night.

They had a 5% swing in Solihull which is Tory country. That should have put the shits up them.

Yet they are still going about the win yesterday.  That proved the shits were already up them.   

[killer-heels]

Lol Hall lost Tory vote share.

[Libertine]

Even that was hilarious/pathetic. Sunak going up there for a victory lap and Houchen could barely disguise his disinterest and disdain for him.

And the activists in the background waving Tory placards when Houchen avoided all branding in his campaign.

[Wabaloolah]

yes shows the rumours all started from Hall's camp, he's absolutely pissed it, 200,000 votes

and there was a huge swing to Labour too

[jillcwhomever]

Lol Hall lost Tory vote share.

It just shows all that playing up of her prospects yesterday must have come from Tory Central Office.
