Not much we can do to help him from here.

It's a "her" and you could empathise.

That'll help.

“Empathise on demand in the way I want you to, after I use the incident to make…. Some sort of point. And if you don’t get my point? Well then I win anyway”

Stop being so serious. You are spoiling the jokes.

Starmer has to go after this very, very poor showing. Even Corbyn got more than that.

BBC says Labour on 34% projected national share, Tories 25% and Lib Dems 17%
The BBC has just published its projected national share figures.

This is the estimate of what the results would have been if everyone in Britain had voted in local elections, instead of just the people voting yesterday.

Labour: 34%

Conservatives: 25%

Lib Dems: 17%

Others: 24%

[Dunners]

Imagine thinking that the projected national vote share for the local elections is remotely comparable with General Election figures. It's the sort of miscalculation only, oh I don't know, bitter Corbynites would try and construe.

[Friend or faux]

Maxy sounds like the whinging Tories in Thurrock that can't handle defeat. If they had a turnout at the polls like they are on Facebook, they would have kept Thurrock. LOL

The numbers don't lie chief and don't call me a Corbyanite. It is a dismal showing whether they are remotely comparable or not.

Better but his old English liberal radical tradition isn't mine

Why does the counting for the mayoral election take so long?

Why does the counting for the mayoral election take so long?

Good question especially when hardly anyone bothered to get off their fat arses and vote.

[faldO]

Counting of votes doesn't start until tomorrow morning, and might even spill into Sunday if it is close.

Today has been the verification process from the 3600 polling stations to make sure everything is accounted for, and collating all the ballot boxes across the 3 elections being voted on.

Right, but why?

[Currywurst and Chips]

They couldn’t start the London count on a Friday as everyone was working from home

[Dunners]

For those of us who have become accustomed to working from home, Fridays are now an unofficial weekend day. You sort of keep an eye on your emails and for any urgent matters that arise, but nobody chooses to do any serious work. And I'm okay with that.

[Hoover Attack]

Is that just for Fridays?

[Friend or faux]

All the media saying that the Tories took a wamping on Thursday, except for the Daily Torygraph & todays Beeb. Both saying, well it ain't all that bad ( LOL). However yesterday the Beeb were saying the Tories got walloped. Someone at the Beeb must have had words.

You keep an eye on your emails??

That's the best bit. Because everyone else is at it too, there's no emails!

[Currywurst and Chips]

They won West Mids as well!?

[Dunners]

Andy Street pretty much ran his campaign to try and distance himself from the Tory party.

[Story of O]

Guilt by association

[Dunners]

It was close though. The Gaza candidate almost drew enough votes away from Labour to hand it back to the Tories.

Anyway, I'm even more confident that they'll limp on until January for a General Election.

[Hoover Attack]

Labour can thank the Reform candidate for helping them over the line
