Stop voting for fucking Tories

[SaintK]

Let's be honest Khan is going to walk the election.

There has been a swing to Sadiq Khan in the two areas which have declared.
In Merton and Wandsworth, there was a 5.1% swing to Labour from the Conservatives. In Greenwich and Lewisham, there was a 4.5% swing to Labour.
Remember; the Tories needed a swing to take this race. Labour are feeling confident - and these results show why.

[SaintK]

Khan gains a borough. Will be interesting to see which way the outer "Ulez" boroughs go

Sadiq Khan has won in West Central (Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster), taking it from the Conservatives.
Khan has received 11,076 more votes than Hall. In 2021, Tory Shaun Bailey beat Khan in this constituency.

In 2024:
Sadiq Khan: 54,481
Susan Hall: 43,405

Versus 2021 first prefs:
Sadiq Khan: 51,508
Shaun Bailey 53,713

Edit: and another.

… Another mayoral election result has been declared and this time it’s the North East (Hackney, Islington, Waltham Forest):
Sadiq Khan – 127,455
Susan Hall – 34,099
Voter turnout in this constituency was 39.57%.

Khan was always a shoe in.
Utter whataboutery and idiocy to suggest otherwise.

[sefton]

Poor Dachead is going to be so disappointed.

I honestly thought it was going to be close

Don't worry, the bots have been hard at work on the stolen election narrative since yesterday evening.

I think Khan may even increase his majority

[_Os_]

Lets see how well DAC's right wing populist uprising is going. Oh ...

[sefton]

The right wing insurgency gained 2 seats, even George fucking Galloway’s personal vanity project beat that.

[yermum]

So after all the bluster from right wing morons and Russian bot farms ULEZ wasn’t the khan killer after all…

[C69]

So Khaaaaaan (see above) increased his majority as I predicted from the outset.
Multicultural London remains a multicultural and low emission socialist bastion.
Suck it up...lol

[sturginho]

Do you know the Klingon proverb which teaches us that revenge is a dish that is best served cold?
It is very cold IN SPACE!

[C69]

I wonder, based on zero fucking evidence, whether the theatrics we've seen with Tory officials not having photo ID is to rub it in that Khan's vote has severely declined due to his supporters not having the appropriate ID.

Pmsl

To be fair, Reform exists solely to.push the Overton window ever rightwards. The likes of Tice and Farage don't actually want to do anything to change matters themselves (see Farage's trumpeting about EU fishing quotas as opposed to his attendance at meetings about them), they just want to poison wells and muddy pools to force others to do the dirty work. Much more money and notoriety in that.

[sockwithaticket]

Lets see how well DAC's right wing populist uprising is going. Oh ...

And yet the media will continue to give them such a disproportionate amount of air time that you could forgive someone for thinking Reform actually are the UK's third party and not a far right non-entity.

Not that I've watched every minute of electoral coverage, but where I have dipped in, Tice has been interviewed twice yet no sign of a Green or Lib Dem.

[fishfoodie]

Where did the rumors of the London race being tight come from ?

Khan won at a canter, which was pretty much what the polls said all along, & what most peoples gut feeling was as well.

Long may it continue it the saturation makes the rigjt vote for these arse clowns then it's a win win.
It helps Labour and the Lib Dems.

Blackpool South shows that Reform can severely haemorrhage the Tory vote.
It's going to be a tough time in Central Office for Rishi and his poor broken fellows.
Surely a few more defections on the cards s more Tory MPs touting for work.
These results are more positive than Starmer could have ever imagined.
Rishi will be having nightmares.
The recriminations over the racist bitch Hall will resonate for ages.

I knew he would and it was all bullshit and bluster.
Never bought into it at all.
The red wall is now demolished and the cities are very red.
Hopefully the Tories are toast.

It's certainly serving a purpose for now, but UKIP also enjoyd this sort of coverage out of all proportion with their electoral achievements and look where that took us... Admittedly there's no longer a referendum over EU membership to agitate for and it's unlikely that the side they cannibalise from will be in power for a while and thus won't feel the pressure to introduce such a lunatic idea, but it remains something to be wary of.

I also suspect a party like the Greens might quite like to have their profile boosted a bit by receiving coverage that's even somewhat commensurate with their proportion of the vote.

My worries were from first hand interactions with voters, some people were so angry about ULEZ it was a bit Alf Garnett

I wonder how DAC's populist right wing uprising is doing in London? Oh ...

[Tichtheid]

It’s a brave man that underestimates the Binface

They couldn’t find their IDs

We can use it as a basic filter for morons. you have to be Better than Binface.

Yeah, I still work in London my daughters live in London, all of my socialising is in London. I was born there too if that makes any difference. Our current live construction project is in London, as I said in my intro post the mosque I’m involved with is in London too.

When I was looking to buy a farm there weren’t really any available in London (there are some, but nothing suitable came up)

When we moved from London we had lots of friends saying shit like, yeah good move it’s getting so rough round here, wouldn’t want my daughters going out round here. This was in 2005, we worry more about our daughters going out round here than in London

I’ve travelled quite a lot in my life and I’ve never found a place I love as much.

Lived there for about 6 years in the early noughties.

Still have to travel in occasionally for occasional meetings.

Been stabbed there in fact. But a long time ago before it was really dangerous. Brixton. Urban kid nicking my phone.

[epwc]

Susan Hall “this isn’t an episode of The Wire”

Finally, she’s said something that all of London can get behind.

I’m still gobsmacked that this was the best the tories could do.

Ok, great. I’m pleased for you. It’s less than 100% of us.

Which major city in the western world doesn’t have stabbing and muggings?
