Damn those Muslim votes being counted as equal to the normal ones. Labour won the Christian election and that's the real quiz.
Yeah, right.Christ that's a shocking statement. Hopefully named and shamed.
I reckon their name will just so happen to rhyme with Duke Bakewurst.Even the Tories recognised the comment as vile, whereas Labour deflecting with the 'it weren't one of us guv, I swear it!'. Needs to be named and shamed.
I've never understood the general negativity around electronic voting. Entire industries use MFA to prove that the person doing something is who they say they are and that include fingerprints, face ID, authentication codes, passwords, personal information or some of these combined. I really can't see why that's less secure but it seems to be perceived as such.When someone submits a postal vote they need to sign it and put their date of birth. It must then match the ones the Council have on file for them when they registered. That’s how you check it’s from them. If they mark their date of birth or signature incorrectly, they get written to after the election saying their vote was rejected and to provide fresh identifiers. Having worked in elections for many years, it’s a secure way to vote.
I think it’s down to the cyber security element and it being prone to hacking. Can’t see any other reason for it.I've never understood the general negativity around electronic voting.

That would involve a journalist giving up a source. Never going to happen for this.Christ that's a shocking statement. Hopefully named and shamed.
Neh I ain’t having it, Kahn will win.Lots of rumours about Susan Hall beating Khan. If this is the case then Londoners have lost their mind voting for her.

The turnout in London was historically low (2 out of 6million voted) which is alarming, but I don't see that being enough to get that Gammon to beat Khan. Even the Tory base in London consider her a calamitous candidate. Khan will win I reckon, but it'll be closer than what earlier polls projected.Lots of rumours about Susan Hall beating Khan. If this is the case then Londoners have lost their mind voting for her.

Major cities would be the voting areas most impacted by the voter suppression. I hear turnout was down from the 42% last time to under 33% now (not confirmed).Lots of rumours about Susan Hall beating Khan. If this is the case then Londoners have lost their mind voting for her.

I hope so, but worried for himNeh I ain’t having it, Kahn will win.
I reckon Hall will win, with a lower total vote than Shaun Bailey got.I hope so, but worried for him
Has there been any polling or early numbers suggesting a Hall win? So far all I'm seeing is some jitters from the Labour camp owing to a lower turnout. It probably works in Hall's favour but certainly not enough to topple Khan surely?I reckon Hall will win, with a lower total vote than Shaun Bailey got.
Counting starts tomorrow at 9am. From Labour canvassing, reportedly much lower turnout in the inner cities in areas where Khan's vote was strong; generally the same levels of turnout in Outer London which voted blue last time. We should have the first districts reporting tomorrow lunchtime with confirmed figures.Has there been any polling or early numbers suggesting a Hall win?

That's actually quite impressive from LabourLabour's Kim McGuiness elected North East mayor, seeing off challenge from former Labour mayor Jamie Driscoll
Labour’s Kim McGuinness has comfortable won the contest to be the first North East mayor. She had 41% of the vote, beating Jamie Driscoll, who was on 28%. Driscoll was Labour’s North of Tyne mayor but was blocked by the party from standing to be its candidate for the new post because he was perceived as too leftwing, or insufficiently loyal to the Labour leadership.
The new North East mayoralty is a larger version of the North of Tyne one, which is replaces.
Here are the results in full.
Kim McGuinness (Lab) 185,051 (41.27%)
+Jamie Driscoll (Ind) 126,652 (28.24%)
Guy Renner-Thompson (C) 52,446 (11.70%)
Paul Donaghy (Reform) 41,147 (9.18%)
Aidan King (LD) 25,485 (5.68%)
Andrew Gray (Green) 17,631 (3.93%)

We're living in really dangerous times. I'm too old to care but I fear for my children. As Muslims (brown ones at that) there's some tough times coming up whether we live in the UK or Saudi Arabia. Both countries are following identical agendas. But its written these times will come so it's not a shock for us, just sad.That quote above is from The Guardian.
The BBC is carrying a slightly different quote from a 'party source'. It is amazing:
"It’s the Middle East, not West Midlands, that will have won [Conservative candidate] Andy Street the mayoralty. Once again Hamas are the real villains."
@Dumbstar
They have verified the votes today so they are verified face up so you can get a good idea of how the voting is. Lots of reports the Muslim community hasn’t voted for him and turnout is low. It remains to be seen tomorrow but Susan Hall is a total nut job so Londoners are going to regret that.Counting starts tomorrow at 9am. From Labour canvassing, reportedly much lower turnout in the inner cities in areas where Khan's vote was strong; generally the same levels of turnout in Outer London which voted blue last time. We should have the first districts reporting tomorrow lunchtime with confirmed figures.

State of that photo
They didn't, it was really quite a pathetic campaign.
I watched the start of the BBC coverage last night and lasted about 11 minutes before having to turn it off. How on earth a blatant conservative supporter can front a BBC results show I'll never ever know. Everybody is entitled to their political opinions but she could at least try and hide who she supports.
