London Mayoral Election

Corbyn is in Bristol to congratulate the new labour mayor

It's her mouth that needs the sausage stuffed in it (although she talks out of her @@@@ most of the time)

Well it was easy to agree on this one ;)

Unfair to sausages.

Well, shall we see Katie Hopkins running naked up Regent Street with a sausage stuck in her bum?

I don't think so (well hope not)

Loved Sadiq Khan's speech. Interesting analysis on R4 stating that London Mayors become" Mr London" and step aside from party politics. Certainly that has been the case with Ken and Boris. I see JC wasn't attending ( he was in Bristol) .

Loved this though:

Jonathan Reynolds MP

‎@jreynoldsMP

If only these Britain First folks would adapt to British values

on Twitter. I have no idea who Reynolds is, or which party he supports- but spot on, bravo!

Golding's behaviour was atrocious - shame shame on him and everyone who voted for him.

They have had plenty of practice

The error must have happened a number of times then, as it wasn't just one constituency. Making the usual erroneous assumption about being able to lie and getting away with it.

That definitely makes it okay then!

The election fraud has been explained by the Tories - it was an administration error !

Just watching a belated QT and they were talking about Trump and the way that political debate has taken such an unpleasant turn in particular the racist undertones -they then went on to say how this seems to be being imported to this country and how the Tories appear to taken up this baton and run with it.

Well, some people did Djen:
Paul Golding (Britain First) 31,372 (1.21 per cent)

Full results:
Full results and figures
After the first round, the London mayoral elections were:

Sadiq Khan (Labour) 1,148,716 (44.23 per cent)

Zac Goldsmith (Conservatives) 909,755 (35.03 per cent)

Sian Berry (Green) 150,673 (5.80 per cent)

Caroline Pidgeon (LD) 120,005 (4.62 per cent)

Peter Whittle (Ukip) 94,373 (3.63 per cent)

Sophie Walker (Women) 53,055 (2.04 per cent)

George Galloway (Respect) 37,007 (1.43 per cent)

Paul Golding (Britain First) 31,372 (1.21 per cent)

Lee Harris (Cannabis) 20,537 (0.79 per cent)

David Furness (BNP) 13,325 (0.51 per cent)

Prince Zylinski (Ind) 13,202 (0.51 per cent)

Ankit Love (Love) 4,941 (0.19 per cent)

And after the second round:

Khan (Labour) 1,310,143

Goldsmith (Conservatives) 994,614

I hope nobody voted for Britain First, whose candidate turned his back on Khan when he was making his speech.

Brilliant. In the Northern Ireland elections there are members of a party called People before Profit who have been elected. That sounds like a good party to belong to.

The link about the general election fraud is on the government watch thread, whitewave. Seven police forces involved.

The whole of central office is complicit.

I expect they busy at the moment contacting their friends in the media and lawyers to gain support and legal advise.

"Thank you!

Yesterday was an amazing victory for hope over fear and for unity over division – and it simply would not have been possible without your help.

This victory is not about me. It’s about the millions of Londoners whose lives we can improve by building more affordable homes, freezing fares, restoring community policing and cleaning up our toxic air.

Thanks to the time, money and support you gave, we were able to overcome a desperate and nasty Tory campaign. We’ve sent a strong message that the politics of fear are not welcome in London.

Now the hard work starts. Let’s make London even better for all Londoners.

Thanks again,
Sadiq "

Sadiq Khan's thankyou note to Labour members.

Suliman Gani is going to take action against Michael Fallon unless he publicly retracts what he said about him.

So lets see at the moment there ought to be a case to answer in court by the Tory party for the racist slurs over the past few weeks, but I doubt that there will.

There ought to be a criminal case brought against the Tory party over the fraud in the general election. What are the chances!

I liked the way that, when all the photographers were taking photos of his daughters, they got their cameraphones out and did the reverse.
They've been brought up savvy.

Southwark Cathedral eh!

That puts the extremist label to bed.
