Omg!!!😦

I am gripped by the West Midlands. God knows how I'll cope on general election night.

Me too

I thought it was over, but Prof Curtis thinks Labour may have enough in Sandwell.
11000+ sounds a big lead to overturn to me.

When will it be declared?

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

But Labour gained 5 council seats and the Tories lost 6...

Do Labour know something? All their supporters are already in the hall

Omg.come on Sandwell!

And me. I've never been so hooked on local election results before. Always took an interest but this one is different.

ITV Lewis Warner is also rweeting that Labour is quietly celebrating

@Evenstar just about to post this. Signs that it may go Labours way. It is excruciating! 🤣

So tense, come on Sandwell

Election Maps UK's analysis. Definitely going to be close.

Fucking yes! Labour have done it!

According to sky

Beth Rigby calling it for Labour!

I know. It’s going to be a long night.

Just want to hear it formally announced, I am having a drink!

Feel a bit teary! Ridiculous

@tobee me too, you feel there some hope for change

From The Telegraph

Breaking: Labour declares victory in West MidlandsLabour has declared victory in the West Midlands mayoral race, with Richard Parker expected to oust Tory incumbent Andy Street.

Senior Labour sources declared victory shortly befoer Sandwell declares its result with the contest poised to go down to the wire.^

The typo is theirs!

@tobee agree

It's emotionally draining.

👍😀
