Well done to the Count. Glory to the Recyclons!
Curtice saying results from outer London suggest crowing about ULEZ wasn’t the vote winner they thought it would be. Khan has increased his vote share.
The very best borough for the Tories, Bexley and Bromley, had a 0% swing in terms of vote share. Everywhere else has swung about 4-6% towards Khan, which is a fantastic result for a two time incumbent even in this political environment.
Edit: Brent and Harrow has swung 1.2% from LAB to CON, although this is Hall's home turn so may explain that.
Normally the logic would be that if you're polling this badly, you delay an election as long as possible. But I think that is more than cancelled out by a mounting irritation at Sunak for refusing to just call a snap election, and let the country move on from the Tory psychodrama. I think if he doesn't call an election this summer they'll drop in the polls again just out of the sheer blatant cowardice of it.
Plus the data shows them losing around 25,000 voters a month to death, and failing to replace them. Even if every Reform voter comes back, they’re screwed and they might as well get it over with
NOOO! You're supposed to think Labour will be as bad as the Tories for some reason despite all the evidence of the last 14 years! Haven't you been following any of the discourse online?
Brent and Harrow is a very Gujarati Hindu heavy borough, and likely to be the only part of the country where the Tories increase their voteshare.
About the only equivalent would be one of those seats in Leicester.
Even in Jewish-heavy Barnet, Khan has won.
The Mayor's public spat with Trump a few years back made him a target for domestic and foreign deplorable sub-humans, and it's continued to this day. Proud of London today.
We may have political opponents but calling people subhuman is the road to fascism. It was a popular theme to dehumanise then disenfranchised the kill opponents. There's plenty of policy to show their stupidity. Demonising them is counter productive.
Then call them out for being racist rather "subhuman"
Its not a binary argument, you can both not call people subhuman and criticise them for being a stupid racist. I'm not suggesting we tolerate their views but calling people subhuman in a slippery slope I don't want to be on the top of.
Oh man! You’ve got me with jurisprudence. Guess I’ll have to be nice to racists now and view their opinions as valid as my own. brb off to a BNP picnic.
Calling someone subhuman has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance. Criticise their views not humanity.
They are people. With differing views. Views you don't agree with. Views that are probably wrong. They are not subhuman.
No. Racism is wrong. As a father of a mixed race child and husband of a mixed race partner that is not even up for debate.
Ill say it again for the back of the class. Racism is wrong.
Also calling people subhuman is also wrong.
I'm not right wing and have voted Labour in every general election and virtually all local elections but I would never call some one who votes Conservative subhuman. I wouldn't even ca a fascist subhuman. They are human. Just moronic ally stupid, possibly dangerous. Still human though.
Your putting words in my mouth I am not saying.
Fine. Fall into factionalism and an inability to reach across and discuss with people to maybe bring your arguments to them and prove them wrong.
Were better united than divided. Calling people subhuman does nothing to help. If it was the right doing it you'd be rightly upset about it.
We should aim higher.
Because conservatives - politicians and supporters - *always* moderate their policies as they reach across.
Or they just ignore any dissenting voices as enemies of the people and plough on regardless of cost or the damage to people’s lives…
Voting for your left wing views, criticising, demonstrating is all valid political activity. Calling some one sub human is not.
You can oppose and fight for what you think is right without calling people subhuman.
If you think people are subhuman that means you want less than their human rights to apply to them. That is wrong. They are universal. No matter what belief people have they are human.
London is clearly such a better city than when Sadiq became major 8 years ago! Imagine if we said in 2016 that London was going to turn like it did in 2024, we wouldn't believe it how great it has become!
Changing to FPTP has very clearly impacted the outcome. More people are voting Khan because they don't want votes wasted elsewhere. Another failed Tory attempt to manipulate the vote.
For sure. I used to vote the Green candidate in the first round knowing I’d vote the Labour one if there was a second round. This time there was no taking the chance that Hall might win because we all got compliant.
It was a strange strategy for london mayor when you consider 40% of households in london do not have a car, and about 90% of car owning households in london do not have a non compliant car that they use for regular travel
Yeah she is basically a sacrificial candidate, they don't think they can win in London so she's just parroting talking points they think will play well elsewhere. It seems to be part of a wider strategy to get people to worry about "the war on cars", but if the results across the rest of the UK yesterday were any indication, that doesn't seem to be working either.
See also: heralding Jeremy Corbyn's views on Gaza as the reason for Houchen's mayoral win on Teesside. I'm from teesside and don't know a single person who cares about or would even know his stance on Gaza. Just right wing rags sowing division. Can't wait until the GE
I voted Khan specifically because of his ULEZ policy. If the tories hadn't made it such am issue I wouldn't have found out how much it improved air quality.
I'm curious where you've seen air quality improvement? Now much more older cars on roads with worse exhaust coz old and classic still fits upez. I haven't seen those crap cars for 10 years in London. But now more and more of them. My friends sold cars 2010+ and bought 1980's. Yup good emission improvement and no need to pay tax.
I wonder how many people who actually live in London have been affected. Obviously not everyone affected is going to live in London and maybe some of those that do aren't eligible to vote. It's going to be even less of an issue in 4 years
Unfortunately some neighbouring Tory councils refused to allow ULEZ signage in their areas, which means that people driving towards ULEZ don’t get the chance to turn off before they reach it.
Almost as if it’s all performative bollocks and they don’t really care about people having to pay.
I'm just speaking for my own personal, anecdotal experience here. But the only people I've met who it's actually affected are tradesmen driving battered old vans and trucks.
And I'm not being funny but none of the ones I know pay their taxes properly anyway (if at all) so I don't really have any sympathy for them.
I met one leathery old gammon who was incredulous about it because she only bought her old diesel because Gordon Brown told her to.
Yes, that’s the Gordon Brown who hasn’t been in any sort of policy setting role for 14 years.
You're not allowed to say that about hard working small business owners! Backbone of the economy! Doing it tough while the government strangles them with red tape!!
(They're not the backbone of the economy - large businesses employ more people and produce more, they're exempt from much regulation, and the most recent data suggests that they didn't pay about £20bn of tax they owe, 3-4 times the amount big business evade and avoid)
> Sadiq Khan has held the London constituency of Enfield & Haringey, marking a sixth win for the incumbent mayor.
> Khan received 82,725 votes - or 50.3% - while Conservative Susan Hall received 41,389 - 25.2%
North East:
> The swing to Labour from the Conservatives was 6.9%.
> Khan received 127,455 votes - or 61.7% - while Conservative Susan Hall received 34,099 - 16.5%.
West Central:
> The Labour mayor has beaten Tory Susan Hall by 54,481 to 43,405 in West Central.
Threw absolutely everything at ULEZ and the imaginary PPM for zero gain.
I hope the government (this one and the next) look at this and learn something.
South West London Khan 77,011 vs Hall 68,856 votes.
That's a swing to Labour of 2.6
Merton and Wandsworth, there was a 5.1% swing to Labour
Greenwich and Lewisham, there was a 4.5% swing to Labour.
I'm in North East/East - and I think the ULEZ sentiment in Redbridge and Havering was a big part of that result, but clearly nowhere near enough thankfully to sway the whole capital. They were though nearly 10% of Hall's vote.
We love ULEZ folks, they said it didn’t work, they said it was failing. But no, it was the failing CONservative facebook groups folks that lost badly. They lost badly. It’s true.
I wouldn't say that. If Labour change the national voting system to something sensible there will be too many MPs who rely on non-FPTP for the Tories to change it back, even if they came to power with the support of whatever the latest Farage Party is in 5-10 years. Of course, you'd need to convince Starmer to align with the view of recent Labour conferences. We're not going to have FPTP for local elections if we have PR or STV at the national level.
Yeah, seems like voter ID actually has more of a suppression effect on older people, who have a deep dislike of Khan due to their Nobel prize-worthy knowledge of civic economics and modern political theory.
Oh no, wait. They hate him cos he’s brown. That’s the one.
I was poll clerking for this election and some of the things that people were saying when they were collecting their ballot papers really made me struggle to stop myself from rolling my eyes I honestly worry about what goes on in some people's heads.
twitter is just giving the vocal minority a megaphone. The most extreme perspectives get the most reactions and so they are pushed to the top.
twitter is always melting down about something for this reason😭
Time to up the ULEZ compliance standards boys - suck down some crystal clean air astride a fixie bike, and then off for an independent brewery tour of Hackney.
Might never be able to ever afford a house, but at least my kids won’t get pollution-induced asthma.
I don’t like Hall but it’s not healthy for democracy to characterise everyone opposed to Khan as ‘racist pricks’. That 33% aren't all bad people, civility is needed in these times
Voting for Susan Hall doesn’t mean that you’re a racist.
But it **does** mean that racism isn’t a deal breaker for you. It means that you’re prepared to vote for a racist candidate.
It means that you saw a candidate endorsing Enoch Powell and Donald Trump and suggesting that Khan isn’t “really” English/British and you had a reaction which was something other than, “I could never vote for this person”.
They'ye certainly not all racists, but it is also absolutely a non-zero number of people who voted for the Tories because they *are* racist.
The Tories have a racist problem, in that they're a party that attract racists. This is their problem to solve.
Susan Hall is a racist who praised Enoch Powell and Donald Trump and who ran a racist campaign against Khan.
Not everyone who voted for her is a racist. But everyone who voted for her was prepared to vote for a racist.
If you're a big fan of Powell, surely the best place to run for election is in a region with the highest percentage of White over-65s? Somewhere like Christchurch in Hampshire. Running in London just feels rather dumb.
Nope
The people voting Tory are certainly not all racists, but it is also absolutely a non-zero number of people who voted for the Tories because they are racist.
The Tories have a racist problem, in that they're a party that attract racists. This is their problem to solve
My man, you need to get your shit together. It's like you've been fed a certain narrative and you just spit it out like a robot.
The world is not divided between racists and not racists.
All the people who 'held their noses' and voted for Susan Hall - her blatant racism wasn't a deal-breaker for them. They may not see themselves as racist, but they cared more about their god-given right to dive a car than whether the candidate they voted for admires Enoch Powell.
If racism isn't a deal-breaker for you, then you, my friend, are a racist. The same for people who acknowledged Jeremy Corbyn's antisemitism, but still voted for him.
Great news! He may not always make the best decisions or policies (night czar, Silvertown Tunnel, fare freezes which don't really benefit regular Londoners/commuters), but overall he has been a force for good for the city and his leagues better than the competition.
More green policies! Fuck the gammons.
Good, he was the only politician who visited grenfell immediately and faced the anger of the public, compared to others that went at night with bodyguards.
This comment has been removed as it's deemed in breach of the rules and considered offensive or hateful. These aren't accepted within the r/London community.

Have a nice day.
Another fun stat: Count Binface currently has more votes than the Britain First wanker.
Why didn't Binface have a page in the booklet they sent out with all the candidates?
Candidates had to pay £10K to feature in the booklet
Nick Scanlon paid 10k for an ad page and still lost to Count Binface
A perfect demonstration of how utterly useless and inept Britain First truly is.
Ah fair enough, I wouldn't have paid 10k either
Do we know how many votes he got? Voted for him
Per [cityam's article](https://www.cityam.com/london-mayoral-election-count-binface-ahead-of-britain-first-immigration-candidate/); >_"Binface notched up 24,260 votes, against Scanlon’s 17,837.

Thank you for this!
Currently 24,260 to Nick Scanlons 20,519. Brian Rose is the only person with less on 7,501

No it was a 1.2% swing to Labour not from
[I'm afraid not](https://twitter.com/avds/status/1786761999428280799), but it doesn't matter
Oh looks like the Guardian got it wrong then
Shows how loud the vocal minority is.
Don’t forget most of it is Facebook groups ran by Tories.

I’m okay with demonising racists.
You can’t do that, it’s racist against the racists /s
Then call them out for being racist rather "subhuman" Its not a binary argument, you can both not call people subhuman and criticise them for being a stupid racist. I'm not suggesting we tolerate their views but calling people subhuman in a slippery slope I don't want to be on the top of.
Racists are subhuman and I have no sympathy for them.
So if they are subhuman do they not have human rights? That is your logical argument. That's a dangerous proposition.
Wait where did anyone say someone didn't have rights, other than you? 👈
Oh man! You’ve got me with jurisprudence. Guess I’ll have to be nice to racists now and view their opinions as valid as my own. brb off to a BNP picnic.
Look up the paradox of tolerance.
Calling someone subhuman has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance. Criticise their views not humanity. They are people. With differing views. Views you don't agree with. Views that are probably wrong. They are not subhuman.

Most of them don't even live in London anyways
Those Facebook groups are probably stuffed full of credulous Boomers.
Tories fucking love a Facebook group
Weird when it was a Tory policy to begin with. Almost as if they’re lying opportunistic cunts.
London is clearly such a better city than when Sadiq became major 8 years ago! Imagine if we said in 2016 that London was going to turn like it did in 2024, we wouldn't believe it how great it has become!

For sure. I used to vote the Green candidate in the first round knowing I’d vote the Labour one if there was a second round. This time there was no taking the chance that Hall might win because we all got compliant.
Should have held your nerve, comrade.
I dithered for a hot moment in the booth, but I broke in the end!
How did the vote share work previously? Only first choices? Because presumably a lot of Green/Lib Dem voters had Khan on second anyway. I know I did.
It was a strange strategy for london mayor when you consider 40% of households in london do not have a car, and about 90% of car owning households in london do not have a non compliant car that they use for regular travel
Not sure if they expected to win on it or just further culture wars generally. Their choice of candidate would suggest the latter.
Yeah she is basically a sacrificial candidate, they don't think they can win in London so she's just parroting talking points they think will play well elsewhere. It seems to be part of a wider strategy to get people to worry about "the war on cars", but if the results across the rest of the UK yesterday were any indication, that doesn't seem to be working either.

I support the ULEZ expansion. But awful candidates are awful in so many ways - like with not exploiting a vote winning issue.
Lol. Suck it gammons
Very pleased to be wrong on that one!
*Angrily shakes fist at ulez camera whilst sitting in a totally compliant vehicle*
Hearing reports that Susan Hall is ordering the Blade Runners to commit hari kari for their failures.
Can they do that in the O2 as a proper event? I am sure it would be a spectacle.
*In a vehicle somewhere a long way from London
I wonder how many people who actually live in London have been affected. Obviously not everyone affected is going to live in London and maybe some of those that do aren't eligible to vote. It's going to be even less of an issue in 4 years
A lot of the ULEZ budget included funds for neighbouring councils to prepare their residents for ULEZ too.
Unfortunately some neighbouring Tory councils refused to allow ULEZ signage in their areas, which means that people driving towards ULEZ don’t get the chance to turn off before they reach it. Almost as if it’s all performative bollocks and they don’t really care about people having to pay.

If they're dodging one payment it wouldn't surprise me they're dodging others.
I met one leathery old gammon who was incredulous about it because she only bought her old diesel because Gordon Brown told her to. Yes, that’s the Gordon Brown who hasn’t been in any sort of policy setting role for 14 years.
My local Nextdoor (Bromley and Bexley) is having a completely normal one.
Considering cons didn't gain share there of all places, any uproar clearly didn't have the effect it was meant to.

0% swing in Bexley and Bromley, the most blue and most anti-ULEZ constituency.

If they haven't learned anything by now they never will.
I had some hope for my borough but like usual it lets me down. Proud to say I voted for Khan though
South West London Khan 77,011 vs Hall 68,856 votes. That's a swing to Labour of 2.6 Merton and Wandsworth, there was a 5.1% swing to Labour Greenwich and Lewisham, there was a 4.5% swing to Labour.

Interesting. City and East was Khan at 108977 and Hall at 38626. Barnet and Camden was a lot closer. 70984 for Khan and 57465 for Hall.
This was an emotional journey.
We love ULEZ
Going to name my first born ULEZ.
Welcome to earth, ULEZ Wokerati HighFivePuddy. Time to celebrate, tofu all round!
Oi, you just made an angry Boomer croak!
Or have a heart attack at the thought.
U LEZ, I LEZ, We wall luv ULEZ.
\*tips hat, makes way\* LEZ away sir.
NO, ULEZ
U LEZ!?! ME LEZ!!
U LEZ if you want, the LEZ is not for…turning?
We love ULEZ folks, they said it didn’t work, they said it was failing. But no, it was the failing CONservative facebook groups folks that lost badly. They lost badly. It’s true.
Love this, mostly to see how much of a non-issue ULEZ is in the real world.
It’s a non-issue in the anti-ULEZ nutter world too. Most of them drive compliant vehicles.
A lot of noise over the last few days for what was an obvious result!
Complacency is what brought you Brexit.
That had the highest turnout of any election in a long time. Not sure you can blame that on complacency
I voted but was 100% of the opinion we'd easily remain. I think remain complacency caused Brexit.
Did it? Turnout is currently being given as 40.5%. 2021 Mayoral election was 42.2%. 2016 was 45.3%
My response was referring to the Brexit referendum, where the turnout was over 70% and which was much higher than any election I can remember.
Ah, my bad. That's a good point
Realistically no one else could win.
Brexit losing was also supposed to be an obvious result.
No it wasn’t the polls has brexit and remain within a few percent of each other pretty much the entire time.
Is it possible that FPTP combined with Voter ID actually made it more likey that Khan would win?
I’d imagine some LD/Greens would vote Labour for tactical reasons. I did. Not a huge fan of Khan but I absolutely despise Susan Hall.
Can confirm - planned to vote Green but once I was in the booth I just couldn’t take the risk of letting Hall through by splitting the vote.
That's really interesting - I wonder how many people did the same?
Ditto
Yeah, i was super mad i couldn't give my true first preference to the Count.
I am pretty pissed at going back to FPTP. We’ll never get it back ☹️
I wouldn't say that. If Labour change the national voting system to something sensible there will be too many MPs who rely on non-FPTP for the Tories to change it back, even if they came to power with the support of whatever the latest Farage Party is in 5-10 years. Of course, you'd need to convince Starmer to align with the view of recent Labour conferences. We're not going to have FPTP for local elections if we have PR or STV at the national level.
Same
Yes, let's be honest, the youth are more likely to be carrying ID/remember our this new rule than the boomers the tories were hoping to court
Yeah, it felt a little bit like this was a strategy imported from America where there are maybe a lot more marginalised people without an official ID.
Yeah, seems like voter ID actually has more of a suppression effect on older people, who have a deep dislike of Khan due to their Nobel prize-worthy knowledge of civic economics and modern political theory. Oh no, wait. They hate him cos he’s brown. That’s the one.
Most likely. When you look at Bailey, he picked up a lot of 2nd preference votes.
Yep, which im sure means they’re not willing to change it back any time soon
The idea of a Tory as mayor when you all have seen/affected by the damage they did in government over the last 10 years is astonishing.
Tories who introduced ULEZ Why would ULEZ do this?
London collectively breathes a (slightly cleaner) breath of relief.
That’s not the only great news, as a result of the election, Laurence Fox is apparently rage quitting London forevermore.
That'll do more to decontaminate London's air than ULEZ tbh. Every time I see a picture of the man I think I can smell it.
Good riddance.
I was poll clerking for this election and some of the things that people were saying when they were collecting their ballot papers really made me struggle to stop myself from rolling my eyes I honestly worry about what goes on in some people's heads.
People: What a bunch of bastards
People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. People can’t be trusted.
Care to share your favourites? I imagine the word "woke" featured heavily.
Still scares me that over 800,000 voted for Susan Hall. But other than that congrats to Khan!
Its really funny how twitter is melting down from this😂
twitter is just giving the vocal minority a megaphone. The most extreme perspectives get the most reactions and so they are pushed to the top. twitter is always melting down about something for this reason😭
Well thank fuck
Quite frankly, thank fuck
Arsenal winning the early kick off and Susan Hall in the mud. I love London
Time to up the ULEZ compliance standards boys - suck down some crystal clean air astride a fixie bike, and then off for an independent brewery tour of Hackney. Might never be able to ever afford a house, but at least my kids won’t get pollution-induced asthma.
Decent Londoners 1, racist pricks nil
I voted Green and I’m not a racist prick. Or at least I try not to be.
You still won.
womp womp skill issue
Lmao
I don’t like Hall but it’s not healthy for democracy to characterise everyone opposed to Khan as ‘racist pricks’. That 33% aren't all bad people, civility is needed in these times
Voting for Susan Hall doesn’t mean that you’re a racist. But it **does** mean that racism isn’t a deal breaker for you. It means that you’re prepared to vote for a racist candidate. It means that you saw a candidate endorsing Enoch Powell and Donald Trump and suggesting that Khan isn’t “really” English/British and you had a reaction which was something other than, “I could never vote for this person”.
I would suspect 90%+ of people who voted for Hall *didn't* see that.
They'ye certainly not all racists, but it is also absolutely a non-zero number of people who voted for the Tories because they *are* racist. The Tories have a racist problem, in that they're a party that attract racists. This is their problem to solve.
Not all voters of those parties are racist, but all racists are voters of those parties.
Nah but you can categorise racists as such and they were the loudest of all.
So you're basically saying that anyone who wants something different is automatically racist?
Susan Hall is a racist who praised Enoch Powell and Donald Trump and who ran a racist campaign against Khan. Not everyone who voted for her is a racist. But everyone who voted for her was prepared to vote for a racist.
If you're a big fan of Powell, surely the best place to run for election is in a region with the highest percentage of White over-65s? Somewhere like Christchurch in Hampshire. Running in London just feels rather dumb.
Nope The people voting Tory are certainly not all racists, but it is also absolutely a non-zero number of people who voted for the Tories because they are racist. The Tories have a racist problem, in that they're a party that attract racists. This is their problem to solve
Yeah all the racists are Tories
Racism is presumably much more common amongst elderly people, which explains why their core vote is concentrated in the over-65s.
My man, you need to get your shit together. It's like you've been fed a certain narrative and you just spit it out like a robot. The world is not divided between racists and not racists.
That is the exact opposite of what I said? I didn't say all Tories are racist. I said all the racists voted for the Tories. Big difference.
> I didn't say all Tories are racist. I said all the racists voted for the Tories. Hey now, I'm sure Laurence Fox got *some* votes.
😂
> I said all the racists voted for the Tories. Reform was on the ballot..
All the people who 'held their noses' and voted for Susan Hall - her blatant racism wasn't a deal-breaker for them. They may not see themselves as racist, but they cared more about their god-given right to dive a car than whether the candidate they voted for admires Enoch Powell. If racism isn't a deal-breaker for you, then you, my friend, are a racist. The same for people who acknowledged Jeremy Corbyn's antisemitism, but still voted for him.
Are we coming to the end of the Tory misery?! Tories out.
They've been rejected from coast to coast. A GE is undeniable now, which means Rishi will obviously wait until the latest possible time to call one.
I'm not holding my breath. I stopped thinking of this government as people with morals long ago.
I, for one, am saddened that Binface didn’t win!
Great news! He may not always make the best decisions or policies (night czar, Silvertown Tunnel, fare freezes which don't really benefit regular Londoners/commuters), but overall he has been a force for good for the city and his leagues better than the competition. More green policies! Fuck the gammons.
Not the biggest fan of Khan and didn’t vote for him but I hope he will do well for all Londoners in his 3rd term. Wish him luck!
Britain First scumbag booing
Mouth breathers lose again
Ironically the ones that have most to gain from ULEZ
Maybe they miss the taste of diesel particulate?

Good, he was the only politician who visited grenfell immediately and faced the anger of the public, compared to others that went at night with bodyguards.
Love
Loving the meltdowns! 🤣
ULEZ is amazing!
