'Ms hall held outer London boroughs of Havering & Redbridge, Croydon & Sutton, Bexley & Bromley, Ealing & Hillingdon and Brent & Harrow'

Well done London. Massive sigh of relief.

Londoners have a long and honourable history of seeing off fascists and racists. I'm a bundle of nerves but still confident this dreadful woman will soon be a footnote...

🚨 Susan Hall is the most dangerous candidate I've ever faced.

Splendid old vine Monastrell at Bodegas Juan Gil, Jumilla, Spain. This moon-like terroir has incredibly complex ways of capturing the sparse rainfall but it's vulnerable, especially as there are quicker ways to make money: solar panels for a start. #oldvines Sarah Abbott MW

Seriously, who can afford West End theatre? Any kind of seat with a view, £130, £240 and up. If there's a star you can spend a thousand quid without blinking. London theatre is a luxury, a once-in-a-lifetime ultra-treat to be planned and budgetted for. Tragedy

Stylish and authoritative newsletter from 67 Pall Mall

We live in one the most dysfunctional country’s in the world. A country where one previous PM, had a strange relationship with the truth, constantly lied, brought damaging effects to the country. The PM which came after caused mortgages to go up, pushing millions of home 1/4

The last attempt of a debased & desperate government to win support from a vicious, bigoted minority of voters. This sadistic plan is a national shame
