Also my local PCC election went the way I expected. Low turnout at 19% and elected a career politician with absolutely no links to policing or the fire service (our county is an OFPCC). Who from personal experience will be absolutely awful in the role. Whilst a perfectly good candidate finished third because she was lib dem. I really wish political parties were not allowed to field candidates for the PCC role.

Can't say I've gone over a map with a fine tooth comb, but it looks like turnout was significantly higher in the outer London areas where all the ULEZ kerfuffle was most incendiary. This could explain why Labour aren't so confident. It'd be a travesty if Susan Hall got in, she's a strawberry floating embarrassment.

Voter turnout was 40.5% in the London mayoral election
....

Previously, voter turnout was 42% in 2021, 46% in 2016, 38% in 2012, 45% in 2008, 37% in 2004 and 34% in 2000.

The turnout isn't really low compared to previous London mayoral elections.

My point is it's low in the areas that are potentially less bothered about ULEZ and higher in the areas that are.

We'll see tomorrow, I just find it unbelievable that anybody could vote for that fuckwit, let enough enough people that she could win.

Leaving Liverpool for a moment, the first results are in from London - and they’re good news for Labour.

There has been a swing to Sadiq Khan in the two areas which have declared.

In Merton and Wandsworth, there was a 5.1% swing to Labour from the Conservatives. In Greenwich and Lewisham, there was a 4.5% swing to Labour.

Remember; the Tories needed a swing to take this race. Labour are feeling confident - and these results show why.
