If Sunak was out of trouble yesterday when the Tories were set to win the West Midlands and, according to some of our finest political journalists, London too, is he in trouble now he has lost the West Midlands and, as even our finest political journalists admit, London too?

Thank you to the Lib Dem and Green supporters who lent their vote to a Labour mayoral candidate due to the unfair shift from PR to FPTP elections. Your support has brought us closer to the change our country needs and the loan of your vote is appreciated. Thanks, once again.

WTF Sky News why is Beth Rigby blathering on about Andy Street? Why the attention to the Tories? Can’t the media actually report the feeling of the country? Labour have destroyed the Tories! Report reality. FFS!

Labour performed terribly because they won, whereas the Tories performed brilliantly because they lost almost everything.

The British press, ladies and gentlemen.

Labour winning in the West Mids and North Yorkshire, Burnham and Rotheram strolling to victory and Khan dunking on Susan Hall.

Mr Sunak your boys have taken one hell of a beating

The race in London wasn’t close. It was Sadiq Khan’s most convincing result of the three he’s won with an 11% lead over Susan Hall. That should not really be a surprise. There were some crazy hares running around yesterday!

The Tories found out today that London as a whole is different to Uxbridge during a by-election.

I’m sure Sir Robbie Gibb will be looking into this …

Why did Laura Kuenssberg put out the rumour that the London Mayoral election could go to Susan Hall?
It makes absolutely no sense, especially as the BBC’s top political commentator, to speculate on an outcome before a vote has even been counted?
This is a genuine question, why do this?

How much money did Susan Hall waste on her doomed attempt to become London Mayor. Is she required to publish the information?

Rishi Sunak Come on head boy - you must surely realise that the game is up. The people of the UK have seen though all your lies . Give up gracefully and call the General Election NOW before your own MPs throw you out. Everyone repost if you agree.

Andrea Jenkyns MP 🇬🇧 It is time to unite the whole UK against the dangerous and incompetent Tory MPs who have caused such vast damage to the UK. Most recently they have acted together to undermine the Rule of Law. Fortunately most will soon be voted out of office.

How much money did Susan Hall waste on her doomed attempt to become London Mayor. Is she required to publish the information?

So what was the point of those reports/rumours that Hall had won London - when obviously nobody knew, and it was too late to influence anything? Just Trumpian making stuff up?

To precis the UK election results
Labour won everything

Conservatives did even worse than expected

Brexit Party annihilated.

It’s looking like Susan Hall has been electorally destroyed here. This is deeply embarrassing for the Conservative Party and Sunak in particular.

So. Goodbye Susan Hall. Your desperate dog whistle tactics failed and have been rejected.

Rightly so.

Something has gone terribly wrong in BBC News. Yes, there are issues of political pressure & bias. But I think more important is the tendency to underestimate audiences, and speak down to them. It leads to gross over-simplification, and treating politics as entertainment. 1/2

It's amazing to look back at their barefaced lies...

I mean I didn't think Rishi Sunak would get to this level of foolishness/arrogance yet here we are.
He's utterly disregarding the message millions of voters have sent him over the past few days: we want a #GeneralElectionNow !
