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.
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.
Good start there for Khan.
Really impressed with the Greens' performance in Liverpool, they nearly finished second!
