Other areas may declare as Wolverhampton has done. At which point if it is not that close we may be able to guess.
Although I wouldn't be the least surprised if there were other recounts.

Loving the announcement "Binface, Count" at London assembly

@Notonthestairs no worries at all - ferrets are a rarity round our way and not many people know that they can't have processed food or things like dairy.

I'm pretty much my friend's only contact for going out, his family don't bother with him because he's gay and they are unpleasant people. He doesn't have a lot in his life, but we really get on and I enjoy taking him on days out.

@pointythings I don't suppose there is any chance of some ferrett tax?

ULOLZ now 😆

Hall’s a sourfaced loser isn’t she?

Seconded.

"I'm pretty much my friend's only contact for going out, his family don't bother with him because he's gay and they are unpleasant people. He doesn't have a lot in his life, but we really get on and I enjoy taking him on days out."

Well that pretty much breaks my heart - and touches on my worst fears for my own kids, social isolation.
Anyway I hope you and your friend and his little friends have many more trips. I'd be delighted to bump into somebody with ferrets.

I think ferrets at the seaside is just about the best thing I’ve heard all day ❤️

You're being kind! How dignified was Kahn? Showing his experience and an attempt to be positive. Hall looked like she was going to explode with hate. So glad bbc news cutaway and we didn't see her speak.

• an attempt to be positive while Hall looked daggers

I'm utterly confused.
Surely Hall didn't think she would win?
Is she just jealous of someone with skills she lacks?

Looking to the future, that's loads more extremely well motivated Labour councillors recruited to go door knocking for the GE.

And loads fewer Tories.

What a shame.

Birmingham metro area 216k votes
Lab Parker 80,251
Con Street 66,296

Funny how it only counts when it is T them as a problem!

Yup this is my borough, I’m surrounded by fuckwits.

Do we know how that area voted last time?

Birmingham Result for West Mids Mayor:

Parker: 37.3% (-10.9)
Street: 30.8% (-9.1)
Yakoob: 19.9% (New)

That's a 0.9% swing to Street.
Parker needs 4.5%.

I'm so sorry.

Ferret tax as requested, heavily cropped so it's anonymous.

That's clearly the Gaza effect there.

LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE HARNESSES!!!!!!!

<ahem> sorry

Its going to be close.
One would suppose that Coventry is within a few hundred votes either way. Last time Coventry was narrowly red.
Dudley, Solihull and Walsall were quite blue, so Street may still be ok.

Apologies from me too - both for my earlier post if you found it rude and for your surroundings!

Love the ferrets. I know there are 2 that get walked along Herne Bay seafront on leads if these ever want an adventure (don't know the lady personally). She's very popular with the kids.

Fuck knows what's going on with Walsall and Dudley. They're hardly Bexley and Bromley.
