Labour is quietly celebrating by the stage.

They have just squeaked through thanks to Sandwell.

Richard Parker will be the next West Midlands Mayor.

Full declaration expected soon.

That's the big one. That's a huge win for labour.

Tories were treading water. Now they are drowning

Sky TV have just confirmed Labour have won.

Confirmed or just Labour think they’ve won?

That's a fucking huge one that. That mayor seat was as safe as it gets it seemed, now if that's gone, it could legitimately be a bloodbath in the General Election

The Tories will be tearing themselves apart once this is announced. Also, they wanted a recount in seven areas so expect a great big moan by the ring wingers in the Tory party.

Haha.

Andy Street completely fucked by Sunak and the Westminster Tories.

Hopefully he makes that clear in his concession speech.

Get those letters in.....

‘Stop the steal’… where have we heard that before?

It wasn’t expected that labour would win this. Even worse for the Tories.

Never mind eh!

Sky News also reporting Tory central office is in a bit of a state tonight, and first shouts for ‘change’ are already out on Twitter from Braverman

If Labour has won this despite Galloway peeling off thousands of votes then it's absolutely huge.

They're done for a generation and the idiots actually think it's because they're not right-wing enough. Roll on a General Election. Time to start rebuilding the fucking mess the country has become under Tory rule.

Wow Sandwell pulled labour through 😂😂

After these election results, the longer Sunak holds off calling an election the greater the damage to the Tory party.

Not just Galloway, the state of Birmingham council would have hurt the Labour vote massively too

Why did the Tories want a recount in Coventry when their man lost by 10,000 votes? Just Tories being Tories and delaying the inevitable?

probably to do with the overall total

I dont want a summer election, there is a Euro’s and Olympics to watch. Make it October so we get a month of joy before the world ends at the hands of a Trump presidency.

Been saying that for months. He keeps stalling in the hopes that something - anything - might crop up that might dent Labour's lead. But the longer he leaves it the more pissed off the electorate becomes and the more determined they are to punish the Tories.

Between Sunak hoping for one of his policies to get some traction or the economy to improve, or for some scandal to engulf Labour, he really is just knocking more holes in the bottom of the SS Torytanic.
