The London mayor and assembly results are out later today.
Sadiq Khan is heavy favourite to win. Which is probably just as well for the Tories, as they really don't want Susan Hall in a prominent position, she's more batpoo than Liz Truss.

I think I saw that the only times the government party has come third in council seats have been 1996 and 2009...
Looks like they won't quite make it to 500 losses, or losing 50% of their seats.
BBC forecast: Sadiq Khan to be re-elected as London mayor
The BBC's polling expert John Curtice is forecasting that with six of the constituency results now published Sadiq Khan will be re-elected as Mayor of London for an historic third term.We anticipate that the outcome in terms of votes will approximately be as follows:
- Sadiq Khan (LAB) - 43%
- Susan Hall (CON) - 33%
106 of 107
Conservative -469.
Conservative -469.
Just watching the final humiliation West Midlands very clear the Tory party is on the ropes if Labour can learn and take a better stance on the Gaza situation they could whitewash
Although a sky news poll reckoned Labour only had the votes for a minority government?

Yes no guarantee this translates to general election as the turn out was dire, but the recurring theme was splitting the Tory vote in some areas this directly relsted to Gaza in others the Reform party took Tory votes.
Labour still have a lot of work to do if they want to be a majority government it seems
Well done to Count Binface for getting 24,620 votes for London Mayor.
While a million votes short of winning, he still got 3,741 votes more than the Britain First candidate.

By election turnouts not long before an election tend to be bad, but elsewhere the turnout was ok.
Sadiq Khan got more votes than in 2021, despite all the rhetoric against him.

In 2019:
The Tories got 42.4% of the vote 317 seats.
Labour got 40.0% of the votes and got 262 seats.
Thursdays results
Tories got 26% of the vote and if protected to a general election would result in 242 seats according to sky.
Does anyone else see how ridiculously rigged these elections are?

Please can everyone just ignore that Sky projection, it's utterly meaningless and should be ignored, it's not worth wasting time on.
It's based on England only so assumes no change in Scotland/Wales over 2019 (in reality Labour will take a bunch of seats off the SNP), and it assumes people vote the same way in local elections as they do for Westminster. That's plainly not true - to take one example, the Tories got 39.2% in the local elections last year in the wards that make up the Blackpool South constituency, but only 17.5% in the by election this week.
Anyway, Salford has declared at last so the final scores on the doors are :
This was before the Salford declaration but Salford was already Labour controlled and they picked up one seat from the Tories, so the change is the same, the council total becomes 51:
I may be missing something but all i have posted is results not meaningless projections

No, but two other members had mentioned it in the last few posts. This board is not just about you.
Oooo would you like me to spray your dummy with a little Star San before you put it back into your mouth

I know this thread is about the demise of the Tories but can I just congratulate Lawrence Fox on losing his deposit and not getting elected as a member of the London Assembly. And this is after he said that sinister forces had prevented his application to stand as London mayor as the paperwork was incorrect.
What an odd c*nt that blokes turned out to be. I liked him in Lewis too!
