Sadiq Khan set to be re-elected London Mayor.

Sadiq Khan powered towards victory tonight by outpolling Shaun Bailey across London as the mayoral contest drew to a close.
With results announced in six of the seven constituences to declare today, Mr Khan had polled 426,646 first-preference votes to 372,069 for his Tory rival - a lead of 54,577.
This boosted Mr Khan’s overnight lead of almost 25,000 votes from the seven constituencies counted on Friday to almost 80,000 votes.
It came as election chiefs confirmed that the next mayor will be declared tonight, with the result expected around 9pm.
Labour incumbent Mr Khan was virtually guaranteed a second term after holding Barnet and Camden, a marginal seat which had to swing decisively to Mr Bailey to give the Tory any hope of a comeback.

I was in London about five years ago. It was very hard to see someone who looked like an Englishman.

Of course. This is like California voting for a Democrat.

Crazy that Boris Johnson was their mayor before him.
ETA: and London has only had a mayor for like 20 years.

Labour Party. They have the same infestation in their big cities that we do, and it’s across all races and countries of origin.

It's gotten worse. Most of London's population, save for a few Outer London boroughs, isn't even majority white British. Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Brent, Ealing, Haringey and Harrow all look like you should be in Pakistan, Bangladesh or India.

Older Brits have to be looking at their country and wondering what in the hell happened. They survived The Blitz, helped to take down the USSR and gave birth to The Iron Lady. They were proud to be British but they sold themselves to the EU. A mistake that took decades to begin to reverse. British wit and humor is legendary but even that is under attack. Their downfall has been a foreshadowing of ours. The Left destroyed that country and the same gameplay is being implemented here. It’s sad what has happened to them.

I golf with a Vietnam vet fighter pilot who did his stopover training in Jackson, Miss in the 1960s. He said it was a very nice town.

London has fallen. This is on par with reelecting deBlasio or Cuomo from New York. Absolute garbage
Posted on 5/8/21 at 3:45 pm to Mike Joyce
This is the equivalent to LA or New York voting for a Dem. Tories dominated elections around the rest of England

The royals are morons. They saw this coming. They had some influence still. So when these middle easterns really get power, the royals will be no more. Idiots.

Was Dominion involved in the ballot count?

Same here!

This is what happens to a country that takes in mass refugees and unrestricted to immigration. Soon the populace will elect one of their own.
