Another vote in one of London's mayoral regions has gone Sadiq Khan's way.
The Labour mayor has beaten Tory Susan Hall by 54,481 to 43,405 in West Central.
It suggests Khan is on track to be re-elected.
That's now a third London mayoral constituency declaration, albeit again from the inner part of the city.
It shows a 5% swing from Conservative to Labour in a constituency where the Conservatives were ahead in 2021 - but has now been won by Sadiq Khan.
We again have a further indication that Khan should be re-elected as mayor of London.
Bailey won there last time didn't he? If so its looking good for Khan, assuming there aren't any major upsets in the other wards.
Well thank feck for that. I have a friend who was volunteering in the campaign HQ and they said people were literally bricking themselves last night.Pre count: "Susan Hall might win"
Actual count: "Khan picks up region that has never voted labour":

current swing TO labour is around 5%.Well thank feck for that. I have a friend who was volunteering in the campaign HQ and they said people were literally bricking themselves last night.
I posted this yesterday but I think the byelection in Wandsworth with the swing away from Labour really unsettled people. Anyway I am pleased. I like Sadiq.current swing TO labour is around 5%.
I am delighted to have been proven wrong.So thats West Central, North East and South West all going to Khan.
It would take a monumental upset in the other wards for Khan to lose this now. Doom mongers in the mud.
I think its pretty clear this was just a publicity stunt. Either to keep him in the limelight (another woopsie, aint he a laugh moment), or an attempt by the Tories to convey that their new ID checks are not intended to carry out voter suppression considering even a former Tory PM was not beyond the new rules.

The South West London result is the first declaration from an outer London constituency.
It is a constituency in which the Conservatives were ahead last time but Labour have won this time.
It looks as though outer London is swinging to Labour in much the same way as inner London, and that the ULEZ row is not going to have a significant impact on the result of the mayoral election.
Yeah, it's all just one big show.I think its pretty clear this was just a publicity stunt. Either to keep him in the limelight (another woopsie, aint he a laugh moment), or an attempt by the Tories to convey that their new ID checks are not intended to carry out voter suppression considering even a former Tory PM was not beyond the new rules.
Long may it continue.
Sounds painful.Well thank feck for that. I have a friend who was volunteering in the campaign HQ and they said people were literally bricking themselves last night.
What the increase of rape and knife crime?Long may it continue.
Tories cutting police numbers definitely didn't have an effect there. I'm sure the dumpster fire candidate that is Susan Hall had a solid plan to tackle it.What the increase of rape and knife crime?
Crime is up pretty much everywhere, no? Same as a lot of other major cities in other countries I believe. Probably a mix of things like policing cuts, social services cuts, living standards erosions (things getting more expensive, stagnating wages) all making crime more attractiveWhat the increase of rape and knife crime?
The Tories did this in mayoral elections because FPTP gives them a better chance of winning. That's literally the only reason.Why was the decision made to switch from PR to FPTP in London? I'm guessing it's above the Mayor's authority for obvious reasons, but seems a very backwards step in general?
So is it nationwide, not just in London?The Tories did this in mayoral elections because FPTP gives them a better chance of winning. That's literally the only reason.
Yes, they changed it under the Elections Act 2022, along with photo ID. They know any variant of PR will lead to them losing.So is it nationwide, not just in London?
Cry more.What the increase of rape and knife crime?
Thanks; sounds like something a sensible Labour government would prioritise putting right as soon as they made it back into power, but...Yes, they changed it under the Elections Act 2022, along with photo ID. They know any variant of PR will lead to them losing.
She needs to resign.She really can’t hid her bias.

That's about the size of it.So Labour shit on Muslim voters, likening them to Hamas, to blame for them losing an election they've won anyway?
