I'm not a big #SadiqKhan fan, he's a bit too conservative for my tastes, but I am voting for him today in response to the right-wing dog-whistle attacks that the religion he was born in somehow affects his policies. That's not how we do things in London.

* SNAP *

…that’s the sound of the window of opportunity for #SusanHall snapping shut

It’s now 6pm, and from the latest poll it will now be mathematically impossible for Suzie Screwloose to beat #SadiqKhan even if she gets every vote cast from
now to 10pm 😊

…and relax 💤…

UK subsidiary of a Dubai company registered in the British Virgin Islands and owned by an Indian tycoon gave £220,000 to the Conservatives.

I have a cure for our ailing democracy: ban all donors, British and foreign. Run politics on membership fees

It looks like the hideous Ben Bradley has lost the East Midlands mayoralty vote.

Here's a reminder of what a nasty piece of work he is 👇

“You boy, has anyone blamed ‘mid-term blues’ yet?”

Less than 33% voter turnout for Blackpool South by election.

I know that turnouts for by elections are traditionally low, but it shows how many people are totally disengaged from the political process.

It’s not a healthy state of affairs when people don’t care enough to vote 😔

Did you need that card? We've not needed to take it before...

CrémantCommunarde #BeAPeacemonger ☮️ at our polling station people are bringing their ID but forgetting their polling card!

I believe that to be the answer.

'Thanks to an FOI request, I now have evidence that the Scottish Government has applied its devolved #Freeport tax cuts without any data saying that they will benefit the Scottish public purse or be offset by other taxes.'

Wrong Peter. She should resign. And Sunak should condemn the 55 Tufton St charlatans who landed a useful idiot in a mess of their making. Neither of these things will happen. And Labour should put Nolan principles at heart of campaign and government

Quite remarkable how yet again the press are in the main seeing their role as helping to ignore and cover up rather than ask these kind of questions and keep at it until they get the answers.

Britain is a great country but it needs change. Vote for that change today.

Embarrassing to watch Tory Minister Bim Afolami, yet another Tory Old Etonian, attempting to explain economics to a Nobel prize winning economist Prof Joseph Stiglitz

Peter Kyle MP words on green economy 👍🏼👍🏼

Tremendous performance by the #GreenParty in #LocalElections2024 - winning seats where they've never won them before.

It proves Brits CARE about Green issues.

—And this is the day #RishiSunak chooses to announce oil and gas drilling at sites intended for offshore wind farms😡🤬

Mountain No, he didn't say that. Listen to his show today, he only talks about why lbc would chuck him.

What a strange time we live in.. When a Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has to point out to the Tories and Labour that public investment, increasing the power of workers and a healthy NHS are the only way for the UK economy to grow!

'It describes one of the characters as having a proud nose.'

James O'Brien reads from a book evoking great levels of 'anti-Semitism', including 'Jewish oligarchs fiddling with election figures', before revealing it wasn't written by a Labour candidate but former PM Boris Johnson.

Was this ever resolved? I haven't noticed any big blue police tents outside CCHQ, or high-profile arrests.

Sayeeda Warsi Conservatives Sadly, it's endemic with the Tories.
