It will be at least 6% swing in Coventry and Sandwell. Street's lead was over 20k.

Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Come on Sunak, just call the election. Its an open secret your wife hates living at Downing Street and has been making plans to move back to California.
Was he the Spinal Tap manager?

That's their problem, wants to play like a United team and they lost half their seats in the country, ETH would be pleased
BBC reporting there's a big tory meeting planned for next week. Attendees are expected to present ideas for something to privatise. The backup plan is deciding which country to pick a fight with, though sources understand that there's some reluctance with this plan as most of the countries that the gammons have heard of would be too tough for us these days.
ULEZ is a stealth tax. Khan's record in London is deplorable. Not sure I can point to anything good that he has done. A sad state of affairs that there was no decent opposition
All the Tories needed was someone like Rory Stewart. He would have wiped the floor with Khan.
Nothing stealthy about it - it factually gives cleaner air in London.
is the tax on cigarettes a stealth tax?
it's a stealth tax. They're ending the EV exemption on congestion charge in London. Why? Because it was never about cleaner air. It's a tax on people to make more money for the council.
Andy Street losing for about 1500 votes in West Midlands has to be one of the biggest Tory failures in recent times, considering they were so keen to bring in the first past the post system
Believe it or not, the best way to make money from car use is to reduce it, not to tax it. The externalities stemming from private car use are way more costly than whatever taxes they offer, including ulez, ved and fuel duty.
Then on top of that, he's turned London into a fecking cesspit. Lawlessness, knife crime, gang culture, divisions and lack of social cohesion, expensive transport.
it's hard to believe that he could have done a worse job. Yet gets a 3rd term

Thankfully London seems to disagree with you. Most of us here appreciate having cleaner air. He's by no means a perfect mayor, but a breath of fresh air (literally) compared to the clown that preceded him as well as the clowns who are offered as an alternative.
Let me guess, black cab driver?
Reform candidate probably.
My car is 12 years old and ULEZ exempt. You have to really try to find a car that has to pay the ULEZ charge.
He was probably the best of the Tory Mayors to be fair and it’s a big blow for him to lose for the Tories.
How do you manage to go into every CE thread and be the worst poster in it?
True. He'd have won if he went independent.
Pretty disastrous for the Tories all round, lovely stuff. I'm still weirdly pessimistic about Labour's chances of winning a majority though, mostly because there's no guarantee of a Labour comeback in Scotland.
Only thing that could stop Labour is Labour themselves. Mind you they're seemingly trying really hard to self-implode, especially with some of their comments on their typical voting demographics.
Which bit?
Next you'll be saying he's a fan of drill

These donkeys think they are entitled to Muslim votes with nothing in return.
Starmer will be going on another trip to a mosque this week for some 'Look, I have some Muslim friends' photos. Not sure if he'll demand they release the hostages like that one in Wales he went to.
Any of it really.
Cry fecking more
Didn't realise Peston was affiliated with the Labour party..
Add bad grammar to her long list of crimes.
Ok. If I said, Khan has done a fantastic job in London. Has made transport cheaper, built lots of affordable housing and made the city safe from knife crime and burglars.
Then this would be better for you?
You’re getting worked up over nothing. Peston has nothing to do with Labour. He’s just speaking historically.
AKA, this is Sunak’s mess and I’m not interested in cleaning it up.
