Some true colours are certainly showing in this thread. Politics and the forum never mix well. What's wrong with having views on certain matters? |

I think Susan Hall could have won if the turnout was around 80-90%, its obvious who the 40% that did turnout to vote were, they are the diehard Khan fans, no matter how bad he runs the capital, they will still vote for him. Susan Hall could only have a hope of winning if Labour didn’t field a candidate full stop - no amount of turnout was getting her in given her whole campaign was just Outer London based - she didn’t even bother to try and make inroads in Inner London where there are plenty of people tired of him. Thank goodness she flopped as expected anyway, I’m not in the business of having far right candidates running London and it was excellent to see Count Binface beat the racists are Britain First I just hope when it comes to the general election, all the parties & voters that are right of centre, put aside their differences and vote for the realistic party that will keep out labour, regardless of what's gone in recent years. |

Nothing but there seems a very narrow left leaning bias! It seems implied here any even slightly to the right is a racist. I think age differences come into play on days like this and older people are seen as the problem by anyone born after 1997 Just for balance I am very centrist at the moment and sitting on the fence. |

Think it is about time Outer London boroughs seek devolution from Inner London. Inner London can have pay per mile, Outer London does not want it. Count Binface would have been more preferable than Count Khanage! They are all London, just because they didn't get the result they wanted doesn't mean that they should break away. It's just effectively throwing your toys out of the pram. Also on pay per mile, who has actually said that Sadiq will introduce it? Sadiq explicitly stated he won't introduce it |

Silly comment🥱 - Please remain SILENCED. Why, he has been rejected by most of the Outer London Boroughs. Seems Inner and Outer London want and need different things .... when our Mayor seems incapable of running down more than one track. What works in Inner London does not automatically work in Outer London. Let Inner London be held back by Khan. Free Outer London from tyranny! In essence you’re asking for the system to be changed because you don’t like the result. The south *generally* vote conservative in a general election and the north generally vote Labour so should there be two separate governments for the country? |

When Boris was campaigning he went in most of the key Labour inner London area's even at times if he was heckled. Hall was no where to be seen. |

Inner London can have pay per mile, Outer London does not want it. Count Binface would have been more preferable than Count Khanage! What an odd response to my post that has nothing to do with wanting Khan or even mentioning pay per mile. Surely, you accept that if your running for a particular position like MP or mayor, that you actually bother to visit places where you need support and not just areas which your already popular? I don't like Khan but at least for instance, he bothered to go and visit Croydon, an Outer London area where Khan is usually not particularly liked for obvious reasons around his ULEZ policy - which part of Inner London did Hall visit? When Boris, as awful as he is, was on the campaign trail, they actually bothered to visit what were traditional Labour areas in 2019 in which most people had never voted Tory in their life. |

Sadiq Khan heckled by Britain First candidate just moments into victory speechSadiq Khan only managed to say ‘Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you London’ before an outbreak of boos from the crowdwww.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-mayoral-election-results-sadiq-khan-susan-hall-britain-first-b1155739.htmlLondon Assembly results are finalisedOverall, Labour won 38.4% of the vote, with the Conservatives on 26.2%. The result means the political make-up of the assembly is: Labour 11 Conservatives 8 Greens 3 Lib Dems 2, and Reform UK 1 There is one member for each of the 14 constituencies and 11 additional members, based on a proportion of the overall result.

I don’t know what Khan can possibly do differently now as opposed to his first two terms, I’m not optimistic either, he’s a bad mayor who won on apathy from the right pretty much.
It has to be said though but Silened isn’t wrong about the stark contrasts between Inner and Outer London, other cities seem mostly unified barring a couple of wards, but London really is divided between by a Labour voting centre and a Tory voting suburban area.

It's not as simple as an Inner/Outer divide.
In the outer London boroughs of Enfield/Haringey, twice as many people voted for Sadiq as voted for Susan.
And in Hounslow/Richmond/Kingston Sadiq got 11,000 more votes than Susan.

Also on pay per mile, who has actually said that Sadiq will introduce it? Sadiq explicitly stated he won't introduce it In May 21 Sadiq explicitly said he would not extend the ULEZ beyond the North/South Circular. In Jan 22 he announced he would be extending ULEZ to the whole of London. He has proved himself to be untrustworthy on multiple occassions. Now it seems there is a Project Detroit in place which is replacing street surveillance cameras. One of the requirements of the replacements system is it must be a able facilitate road usage charging. Why specify it, if you don't intend doing it? |

This is going to sound very controversial but I said what I said and I'm standing on this. If you like, after reading what I wrote you can go and argue with your forefathers. I did say Susan Hall would NOT be elected as Mayor of London. Like come on who was actually thinking she stood a chance to oust Khan out. *sighs* perhaps if she actually came out with a strong set of plans then maybe she would have stood a chance. Anyways as much as I've questioned Khan's tenure let's just hope he does better this term. The funniest thing was people thinking by voting Hall would reverse ULEZ. That had me laughing. What a joke. One last thing. Where's this humble pie that I'm supposed to be eating if Hall came into power. More fool you. Now go and receive that egg in your face and you can bank on THAT. JOB DONE!!! **Drops Mic* 🎤 The main issue with an anti ULEZ policy was that it's effectively effecting less and less people and therefore was unlikely to sustain any voter base. Hence why she started (falsely) pushing the idea that Khan was on his way to implement pay-per-mile (and in effect turned it onto a referendum into that -- and lost it). |
