Really did not expect that great result!

Really did not expect that great result!

Pretty sure the Tories didn't either

That's hilarious, especially given how much Street did to distance himself from the government in a vain hope of winning.

[Cuttooth]

Can he do an Amber Rudd and demand a million more recounts?

It's not all bad news for Andy Street, he at least gets to go home and spend time with his partner.

[Tomous]

No wonder he's been trying to distance himself from the Tory party.

A similar looking map come the GE would be lovely.

Laurence Fox has lost his £5,000 deposit after securing just 0.005% of votes in his attempt to become a London Assembly member.

Mr Fox had already been barred from taking part in the London mayoral elections after submitting invalid nomination papers.

But the actor-turned-right-wing political activist did manage to correctly submit his papers to be a candidate for the London Assembly.

Mr Fox polled just 0.005 per cent of the 2,493,805 votes cast for the London-wide assembly members.
He received 13,795 votes, below the threshold required to have his deposit returned.

I see Suella has crawled out from under her bridge spying an opportunity.

The only shock is she didn't also get Tice or Farage on to speak about how great Reform are.

I'm glad the Greens did well. I'm hoping it makes Labour realise that people of the left do have a viable alternative even under FPTP. I'm under no illusion that they are going to get spooked on the same level that the Tories did with UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform or that the Greens will make massive gains at the general election but it is nice that the are slowly gaining some traction.
