A disingenuous man tries to tell us that Diane Abbott is both expelled and a part of the Labour Party, in some Schrodinger's state of confusion.
Going to be grand with this guy running the country, isn't it? /s
Khan secured a historic third term even as his Tory opponent spread lies over ULEZ, the policies she derides as "woke", & other right wing talking points.
While #SadiqKhan won the #election for #LondonMayor, beating #Tory candidate #SusanHall, after a very fractious campaign, the quote of the day belongs to one of the minor candidates standing, #CountBinface (no relation to #LordBuckethead), who still beat the #BritainFirst's #NickScanlon and said,
"It looks like I have defeated Britain First in an election.
“Come on, you have to cheer about that…down with fascism, up with Ceefax, what can I say?”

Speakerphones to be banned on public transport, with offenders forced to watch a box set of The One Show.
Give back the Parthenon Marbles, you thieving bastards.
All government ministers' pay, including the mayor's, to be tied to that of nurses for the next 100 years.

Kommunalwahlen werden zum Stimmungstest für britische Regierung
In England und Wales wird heute auf kommunaler Ebene gewählt - doch es ist auch ein Stimmungstest für die britische Regierung. In London geht es um die Zukunft von Bürgermeister Khan - und dessen Verkehrspolitik. Von Sven Lohmann.
Pour conserver la mairie de Londres, Sadiq Khan affronte un manque d’enthousiasme
Jeudi 2 mai, 6,2 millions de Londoniens sont appelés aux urnes pour élire leur maire. Le travailliste #SadiqKhan, en poste depuis 2016, devrait être reconduit pour un troisième mandat. Mais il n’est pas très populaire et le changement de mode de scrutin pèse.
Keir is not popular in London, where he's an MP, so they picked somebody else to ride with Khan today.
At least somebody in there has their head screwed on
Short reflections from Nick Tyrone on why it's a huge mistake for the Tories to sneer at London as if anyone beyond the M25 hates it. I live about 60 miles from Hyde Park Corner. I lived in London when I left university. My sons live there. I go regularly to see friends, go to the theatre and galleries, and I love its multicultural richness. Sneering at London is not the vote winner they seem to think. #London#SadiqKhan#GTTO#SusanHall#Tories https://nicktyrone.substack.com/p/this-week-in-brexitland-march-28
@ProfLouiseL a reasonable case and Tories should be more careful. But a terribly English perspective. It is almost as though Wales, Scotland and NI don’t exist 🤨.
Of course they are irrelevant to English thinking and sensibilities.
“Rail fares to rise by 4.9% in England and Wales on Sunday. In London, Tube and bus fares are being frozen and prices reduced during rush hour and on Fridays.” Bloody Islamist controlled mayor keeping the fares down. Why can’t we all have one? #rail#SadiqKhan
@pedestrians1st our Scotish FM Humza Yousaf scrapped peak rail fares months ago, everyone under 22 and 60 plus, apprentices and those on disability and few other group travel for free on buses. Maybe we were taken over first🙄😉😎
By 'public' he means 'other old white Brits like me' because the slab of roast beef that is his mind cannot conceptualise of anybody different from himself.
Will the poshos at Reform tolerate such a LOUD thug in their ranks?
