Pepsi max for me. I'm tee total.

And don't have a cat.

Or dog or a pet.

But I can offer Braverman 🤣

I'm feeling a bit nervous about London and Khan. Any Lingers around to reassure, or even agree, with this?

Can that has woman really win?

The Sun has been reporting that Hall has done very well in Camden - which is weird considering that the count doesnt happen until tomorrow. Dodgy dealings or lies? The odds against her have dropped however.

I do think that turnout will have been very low and the outer boroughs/proxy voting might swing it for Hall. (I am very much a pessimist in all circumstances though - I like to feel like I have got over my disappointment early!)

Me too!

There is some thinking on Twitter that this rumour is being touted as a prelude to complaints from Hall re. Electoral postal fraud if she loses. But time will tell.

As a Londoner I also do find it hard to believe that Hall has won

The whole reporting around the London election has been off, so much disinformation that has gone unchallenged.

Oh, I was looking for the Beds PCC result. If that's gone Labour,that's Foto Opp Festus gone - the guy who ran for the parliamentary seat, whilst not stepping back from PCC.

"There is some thinking on Twitter that this rumour is being touted as a prelude to complaints from Hall re. Electoral postal fraud if she loses. But time will tell."

Interesting - Trump playbook.

As an ex-Londoner. I do too. I will be gutted is she has, London still has a little piece of my heart.

I know that London voted Johnson in twice, but that was when he could still pull off the charming hapless buffoon act that lots of people fell for. I have found poos in my cat's litter tray with more charisma than Hall.

If London goes to Hall they are going to have an awful time. It'll create havoc.

Wales PCC result all in. Three Labour and one Plaid.

Really! Hall wins London? Well good luck to London I'd say. She will have to deliver her nutty agenda which I assume is impossible. Khan to win

No dice, I'm afraid, piggy

Labour won, Claudine!

OMG! I completely misread it!

I am so happy to be wrong!!!

Good grief, if Education is the best they can produce, it just points up how hopeless their record everything else is. There are an awful lot of parents of children in crumbling schools, children with SEND, and children unable to cope in school due to mental health problems whose eyes are rolling out of their heads.

Surely he'd manage to draft Lady Dorries into that fantasy cabinet?

Dame Dorries, surely ?

Oh, I think his Almighty has some explaining to do for letting him get into Parliament in the first place.

Our local news - the prediction that Street will remain mayor.

Our local council which was majority Labour is now all Labour.

Susan Hall...a possibility?...nooooo! Please say it ain't so.

I'd genuinely rather have Count Binface. (Not joking)

I think Susan Hall would be pretty horrified if she became Mayor. She has no clue how to put most of her election promises into effect.

On a quick look at the sex and gender discussions section on MN, they seem to be opting for ignoring this.

What ? You mean ignoring reality ? Surely not.
