Not sure if has been mentioned but the Mayor elected in Teeside got in with a staggering 73% of the vote! Very rare someone gets in with that large %.
Red Paul beat you to it

I see Lord Adonis is suggesting that Labour's next leader doesn't need to be an MP... Can't possibly think who he might have in mind!

Meanwhile Labour lose 9 of 10 seats in Grimsby but the Tories are getting a bit of a battering in my neck of the woods at the hands of the LD's

Yep, A leader that has not been elected by the people as an MP first, Way to go to make people feel connected.

Shaun Bailey doing surprisingly well apparently.

Perhaps I should've put him first choice, not second. And the wife couldn't be arsed to vote...because there were 3 people in the queue and we only had one facemask. Ffs

I'll have never felt such a twàt since I voted Labour in 2017, lolz.

Khan and Labour's LTNs and ULEZ has made him a pariah in outer London.

I have to say i would laugh very loudly if Khan lost. I wanted Labour to win Hartlepool but Khan has been a disaster for London and shamelessly two faced throughout the pandemic.

Surely the inner London ring from Battersea to Brent will see him home

It won't matter, because he'll definitely go to the run off where your second preference will count.

Yes, I still have no doubt Khan will win. But if only the Tories had put up a better candidate. Bailey was always a bit of a dud imho. Still put him second choice mind.
