London Mayoral Election 2024

Susan Hall fails to clap Sadiq Khan as his victory is announced and then shakes her head repeatedly during his speech. A graceless defeat after a classless campaign

An interesting to note in the results.

Rob Blackie, the LibDem candidate only beat Zoe Garbett the Green candidate by 70; yeah seven zero votes. Greens are on the way up.

Im surprised at how many folk support him, all my friends in london still werent fan but I suppose the alternative is totally shit too. So a rock and a hard place

Count Binface beat Britain First, which is cheery.

That is good.

Against that Tory psycho, Khan would look brilliant even if he was a lot worse. Thank fuck for the result - actually less close than first round votes last time, despite the ULEZ hubbub.

despite the ULEZ hubbub

Hall out of touch with most Londoners. We don’t actually want banger white vans coming into the inner zones.

Nobody had a fucking clue who Hall was before she was selected, and few knew much more about her by Thursday. No 'name' Tory would touch it, they knew they never had a chance. And that's not much to do with Khan, it's because they're generally accepted as being shit and are widely despised.

The Tory press/Kuenssberg wanted to portray it as a close thing to try to provoke more borderline Tories to get out there and vote, but it was bollocks.

If he's a ........, what's a Boris?

But seriously why so much hate for him?

Some of us don't want unserviced diesel white vans crossing the M25 into the outer boroughs.

Hall was probably the London Tories 3rd choice.
If he hadn't contravened Covid lockdown legislation, Shaun Bailey would probably have revisited his contest with Sadiq Khan.
Then the London Tories selected a sex pest.
Susan Hall a nondescript LBHarrow councillor & previous GLA member was the stopgap.
Goodbye and good riddance to a piss poor candidate and a laughably negative campaign.

First thing he did in office was greenlight the expansion of the City Airport and the construction of the Silvertown tunnel. So a few billions down the drain for drivers so they can have another tunnel next to the existing one while absolutely nothing for pedestrians or cyclists to cross the river. The area has only 2 foot tunnels 10km apart with permanently broken lifts.

Then he publishes self-congratulatory bullshit like this:

They shouldn’t be anywhere, but cmon you get my point.

Not many people realise that Susan Hall was the leader of the Conservative Party on the London Assembly and, after this election, still is having been re-elected as an assembly member.

Dan Wootton's lost his fuckin mind:

Four more years of the divisive and hate-filled Sadiq Khan. London
will continue its rapid decline. Many folk, including me, won’t be
here by the next election. Why stay for no go zones, exploding crime,
anarchists running riot on the streets, a war on cars and dying
nightlight.

Life, bellend.

AI image fail. Text reads as a copy and paste mishmash of bullshit, perhaps that's AI too.
