  3. I like #LondonMayor #SadiqKhan

    I think he tries, within constraints, to do the right thing. For example, initiatives to end rough sleeping

    Edit: changed the link from one that was sent to my personal email to the general website one!

  4. Not a big fan of the #British Honours system but congratulations to #LondonMayor #SadiqKhan for being awarded a well-deserved MBE. He’s an excellent Mayor of London, unapologetically celebrating the city’s diversity in an inclusive way, and making some (not enough but still) steps towards enabling active travel to get around. Public transport here may not be perfect but lightyears ahead of rest of country. Well done him

    It's worth noting who turned around and shook @CountBinface 's hand, who clapped, and who stood unmoved and glowering when the Count's result was declared.

    There were reports that the CUP candidates in some of the other mayoral races were subtly distancing themselves from the Conservative and Unionist Party. Which was unlike the London race.

    So yes, very different campaigns in London to elsewhere.

    And Khan was heckled by the Britain First candidate in his speech. Britain First was beaten by @CountBinface , which the Count was quite pleased about.

  7. @wood5y

    Phil Moorehouse made much the same point. After the CUP and the LCP, U.K. #journalism just skips over everyone else and straight down to the extremist minorities.

    Reform U.K. Ltd came only 5th in the #LondonMayor race, too.

  8. If the Greens had picked up just 70 more votes in London, they would have come in third.

    That's the takeaway

  9. While #SadiqKhan won the #election for #LondonMayor, beating #Tory candidate #SusanHall, after a very fractious campaign, the quote of the day belongs to one of the minor candidates standing, #CountBinface (no relation to #LordBuckethead), who still beat the #BritainFirst's #NickScanlon and said,
    "It looks like I have defeated Britain First in an election.
    “Come on, you have to cheer about that…down with fascism, up with Ceefax, what can I say?”

  10. Pleased to see Count Binface beat the Britain First racists in the London mayoral election. Perhaps they’ll get the message. #LondonMayor

  11. Can we have a shit list of shame for all the journalists that tried to say London Mayor election was likely to be close.

  12. BBC Politicised Correspondents are busy gaslighting about the imminent election of Sadiq Khan

    - just minutes after John Curtice has observed that "ULEZ not a big factor on election", Henry Zeffman claims

    "There are likely to be Conservative recriminations about the failure to harness anger at the #ULEZ emissions scheme in outer London"

    Well, maybe ULEZ is not unpopular? 🤷‍♂️ Sorry Henry if that doesn't fit your narrative.

  13. CW: Speculation on Khan losing the #LondonMayor race, classic social media distortion, #ulez

    Seems Khan has #LondonMayor in the bag, despite lots of rumours of it being at risk.
    This seems to be such a common social media thing - lots of people saying he's probably safe, but the handful of people saying he's in danger get a lot more airtime as it's just more interesting.

    I'm not sure if it's doomsayers, or misguided hope from people desperate trying to boost #ulez hatred.

  14. Seems crazy to me that only ~1% of London think that Thames Water bosses should be made to take a dip in the Thames to see how they like it. Voting for that seemed a no brainer! #ukpol #londonmayor

  15. With 2 of 14 areas declared in #London

    Khan has almost 50% of the vote

    Hall has 25%

    It seems London will show Hall the Door
    Lool

  16. I've voted!

    Haven't been able to do so in this country for all that long, so I'm appreciative of the opportunity. (Boy, we really need a general election, though, don't we?)

    #voted #UKElections #LondonMayor #LondonAssembly

  17. Voted! The Conservatives have done everything they can to disenfranchise people at this election and have raised the stakes by taking us back to FPTP for the mayoralty. This is an attack, particularly, on young and minority voters. Don’t lose your voice. Dig out your ID and vote!

  18. Voted in the London local elections (twice!). Don't forget to vote, you have until 10 pm to go to your polling station. Bring photographic ID. Also the voting system has changed and you only have one vote for the Mayoral election.

  19. CW: Ukpol

    @harry_wood I haven't made up my mind yet. He's not my favourite candidate (Rob Blackie is), but now we have FPTP instead of AV, I might be forced to, as the Tory candidate is a stupid 🐮, believing in conspiracy theories.

    For the assembly members it's LibDems all the way, as having a too large majority of Labour (or tbh, any party) is never a great idea. And all their candidates are lovely people

  20. CW: UK news about an absolute gammon

    Some wholesome news for UK folks

    Laurence Fox has been barred from taking part in the London mayoral elections after submitting invalid nomination papers.

    He tried to get away with submitting 9 signatures. He needed 10.

    Can you imagine being that unlikeable?

  21. Apparently the #Tories are upset about the photo chosen by a newspaper for their London mayor candidate.

    As if the photo of a previous Tory mayor were somehow better.
