Under a third vote in city polls; BP ward comes top for turnout

Analysis - low turnout in local polls,

A revival of the notion of the Labour Party being the political wing of the British people. Excellent — and excellently timed, coming in just after we found out Andy Street had been defeated.

It’s time to end the UK’s divisions: Labour is for everyone

Britain has turned out in force to vote for change. Whenever the Tories go to the country, we will be ready to provide it

The Guardian

Sadiq Khan appearing to win an historic third term with a ~10% margin after two days of gleeful speculation from the very worst of our press that he was actually going to lose is just wonderful.

My condolences to those journalists and all the weird ULEZ conspiracists and racists everywhere (notably, usually outside London) who hoped and wished he'd lose.

The #LibDems could and should be bolder, #Labour position as ‘not as bad as the #Tories ‘ is far from inspiring. Second in the #LocalElection though, and that won’t be reported. The two party system sucks, lets the country down and is a danger to democracy. #LocalElections24

lol, how does Rishi think he can turn this around for the General Election this year?
Does he think deporting refugees to Rwanda will make the public swing back to the Tories?
He must do considering the amount of effort he's putting into it.....

Lady on Politics program saying the Conservative Tees Valley mayoral candidate - who divorced himself from his party to keep avoid losing votes - was the archetypal Conservative.

I couldn't agree more. He betrayed his previous loyalties to serve his own ends. What could be more Tory?

In Blackpool, Labour did better than YouGov's last MRP, while the Tories, LibDems, and Greens did worse. Implies tactical voting played a hefty role, I think.

#localelections24 Always nice to wake up to conservatives taking a pasting at the ballot box.

Good start for the Greens tonight, and yes...fuck the Mainstream

How can the Tories gain a seat in Newcastle in this day and age? Are they on Spice?
