Come on you Spurs! #TOTLEE

#Newham has finally published their full results, albeit in the more user-hostile format imaginable. I have wrangled them into something more readable and published them here, on a single page. forestgate.net/2026/05/11/c...

Thursday's turnout of 34.9% was an uptick, reversing a downward trend since 2010. #Newham

#Newham is the only council in London (perhaps even the country) not to have published the full results of last week's election. It is a significant democratic failure. newham65.wordpress.com/2026/05/11/s...

#Newham election results map.

Newham embarrassing itself

#Newham Labour has just suffered its worst ever result. I have some thoughts on what went wrong forestgate.net/2026/05/10/w...

Forhad Hussain elected, but LTNs win newham65.wordpress.com/2026/05/09/f...

Your Party, proclaiming their support for a multi-property buy to let landlord whose main policy was promoting car use and ripping out LTNs. 🙄

Some #Newham results coming through. Greens hold Olympic Park (2 seats), and take Stratford (3) and Maryland (2). Forest Gate North splits 1 Lab, 1 Green. Labour holds Canning Town South (3) and Beckton (3).

#Newham appears to be publishing only a list of winners for council seats, not the full results. Don’t they have some kind of obligation to do that?

Labour hold #Newham mayoralty, but on a drastically reduced vote share.

This, plus total wipeouts in Havering and Sutton, gives the lie to any suggestion the Tories are on the up.

#Newham turnout: 84,762 (mayoral) 84,742 (local) 242,878 (total) 34.9% Which is disappointing but unsurprising.

Well, who on Earth could have predicted that? 🤔

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Inspirational.

🗳️The polls are open 🗳️ #LocalElections2026

“The average winner’s vote share in last year’s local elections was 40.7% – the lowest on record. About 75 candidates were elected on vote shares lower than 30%.” Both of those unhappy records will be broken today. Our voting system is broken. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

relentless poll chasing + contempt for your political base + a total absence of principle or vision = political disaster www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/o...

Like his pal Trump, Farage is self-absorbed, thin-skinned and whiny. And like Trump he can fuck right off.

Parfait!

If the book is even half as good as the title it will be an absolute banger. bsky.app/profile/gild...

European Movement UK's Co-President, Caroline Lucas, speaks the truth. It was an enormous act of self-sabotage to cut our ties with the largest trading bloc in the world right on our doorstep. It's time we fix that.

Obviously doesn’t occur to Trump (or his audience) to ask why he’s the only president to take a cognitive test.

Enduring the current election campaign, I would say the same about local politics.

Labour is doomed unless it pays attention to its members and the electoral coalition that actually votes for it.

I beg non-disabled people to stop using the "but what about people with disabilities" argument when mobility lanes or traffic calming are proposed in their neighborhood.

Average *household* income in #Newham is about a third of what she earns as an individual. So cry me a river.

Whoop!

New blog post: some questions for Cllr Mirza ahead of next week's election in #Newham forestgate.net/2026/04/27/w...

BBC: “Buckingham Palace says "a number of discussions will be taking place" with US colleagues today to determine whether the Washington shooting will impact planning for the King's upcoming state visit.” Perfect excuse for him to cancel.

Totally normal reaction from a totally normal president to an absolutely real and not-at-all staged incident.

Again, the media should be hitting him hard on this. It is not supported by the evidence, and is just a way of deligitimating both opposition to Reform, and the participation of non-white people in politics. www.joxleywrites.jmoxley.co.uk/p/sects-on-t...

Too late to be of any help www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

First past the post doing its thing again. Councillor elected with just 30% of the vote. We are sleepwalking into a disaster. #ElectoralReform

It's by-election WEDNESDAY! Just one poll today, which takes place in Salford to replace England's longest-serving councillor... Andrew's Previews for @britainelects.com has all you need to know and more at andrewspreviews.substack.com/p/previewing...
