A simple “like” seems churlish for this top post.
I had a bit of a sleepless night after looking at that! It's almost impossible to imagine a worse London Mayor than Susan Hall - and what a huge boost it would be to the Tory right wing head-bangers if she won. Plus all the Islamaphobic rhetoric would be ramped up to the next level. I love London, and the prospect of someone like Susan Hall being Mayor of the greatest city in the country (excl Brighton & Hove, obvs) is - frankly - enough to keep you awake at night!
I have to say it gave me a sleepless night too, the thought of even more London Wankers moving to Brighton to get away fills me with terror.
Let's hope they're slightly more honest and open than B&H Labour councillors.
Mmm running out of options down here aren’t we, we’ve had Labour, Conservative and those idiots the Greens messing around in Norton Road, who’s next Liberals or maybe the Indies?

There are some indies in Portslade and some in Whitehawk. The East and the West Indies
I've long been a supporter on banning party politicians standing for local government. Only true independents should be allowed to stand - and I don't mean Bridget Fishleigh and her "we're independents but have formed a party anyway" mob.

First two areas to declare in London have shown a strong win for Labour. Khan has won this convincingly by the looks of it
I’d love to know why the running of essentials non essential services within budget needs to be political and associated with the respective parties, can anyone explain why?

London hasn’t had a decent Mayor since Dick Whittington. He bequeathed his fortune to form the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington which, nearly 600 years later, continues to assist people in need.
I think that most of the wild speculation about the London election can be explained by journalists thinking that "Sadiq Khan Comfortably Wins Election That Everybody Predicted He'd Win" isn't interesting or clickbaity enough.
Exactly this

There was also a bit of panic in Labour circles regarding the low turn out and the effect of first past the post. Looking unfounded.
What a nasty campaign by Susan Hall and I'm glad London has rejected her.
I also suspect that part of that was an effort to panic people into going out and voting.

Warrington pretty disastrous for the Tories, holding into 1 seat from their previous 10.
Only reason I mention it, is that I lived there for a while and there are strong pockets of Tory support.

The Liberal Democrats now have 520 councillors, and the Conservatives have 508. It is now clear to us with just the one council to go that the Liberal Democrats will end up having won more council seats than the Conservatives in these local elections.
Khan holds London.
