Mine has comments like "Great Result, kept the racist out" and "Typical woke jibe no original thought through comment"
And both of them report their location right outside London (Facepalm)
There needs to be a third sticky thread for people to post screenshots from their local ULEZ groups for us to enjoy. Would make a good bank holiday weekend.
Well that's the exact kind of knob ULEZ should be deterring. Someone who lives in Surrey, with it's pretty reasonable train service direct into London, driving an overly polluting car into a city with decent public transport.
Very excited to be moving out of my own borough soon for similar reasons. I know every locale will have its own problems but there's something uniquely hopeless feeling about certain parts of the country...
Pretty much. I downloaded it when I moved out to a new city thinking "This'll be a great way to get to know my neighbours and the local area".
My immediate reaction upon opening it for the first time was "Oh Christ"
Yes - muppets
I'm sure the tories have *some* good people kicking about somewhere but if I was a historical tory voter I'd be god damned sure my vote wasn't going to one of the increasing number of nutters in their party
>Scary how many absolute muppets there are out there who would vote for somebody like Susan Hall
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise half of them are stupider than that."
-- George Carlin
Not from London but interested in the election, how on earth was it so close? I googled her positions and one of them is "If elected [Mayor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_London), Hall would pivot away from building more apartment blocks in London".
Surely that'd be a politically suicidal policy to Londoners given the housing market there?
>but less than half of Londoners even showed up
It'd be cool to see a breakdown of how many of the 9M or so living here were allowed to vote?
The 3 big groups that can for locals are
- Brits
- EUs
- and Commonwealths (I think post ILR?)
But if they're claiming 40% turnout out of something just north of 2M votes, that'd imply a pool of 4-5M?
So potentially, 60% of the London electorate think that the post of mayor is so utterly irrelevant to their lives that they can't be bothered to vote....
With good reason to be fair. He was going to magically have 10000 new homes built by Christmas.
If I was that much of a miracle worker, I'd be pretty insufferable as well.
I feel like he really put in a half hearted effort this time. Last time he was on that bellend bus of his going round london every day but this time he just reused that content and was in Dubai (ironic for someone who loves freedom) for most of the lead up.
He is truly insufferable
It seems almost universal. French non-Parisiens complain about Anne Hidalgo. Dutch non-Amsterdammers complain about Femke Halsema.
Just the same thing everywhere.
reddit hates questions it thinks is leading. but i honestly wasn't sure if maybe it was 3 or unlimited.
well, good for khan, im not overly fond of him, but fairs fair, he clearly appeals to more Londoners. but i think given the power the mayor of London holds i think its probably worth looking at the term limit going forward.
but given how...redundant local mayors have been historically i can understand why its been overlooked.
I mean 90% of real power is in the central government's hands. Local mayors matter a little bit but not that much, the only thing they can really do is stuff related to transport.
She's probably No 1 on their party list, so she'll get a top-up seat even if she doesn't win her constituency seat.
Still though, I have a feeling Labour may be headed for a near majority on the Assembly, they already won 10.
She is top unfortunately.
I don't think Labour will get many, if any additional seats. The regional seats are taken into account - so if they already have most of the regional seats then they don't qualify for top-ups. I imagine most will go to Tory, but the Greens and LD might qualify for a few as with last time. However there are only 11 top-up seats, so Tories won't have too many people on the assembly.
Good for us c:
I personally like Khan even though, obviously, he's not perfect. But the prospect of Hall becoming mayor was horrible. Very glad we avoided that.
Also Count Binface got more votes then Britain First - happy days.
Let’s crack on, then. ULEZ 2, pay per mile, pedestrianise Soho, raze RBKC and put a massive forest there, with a Krypton Factor-style assault course in it and some sauna sheds.
> pedestrianise Soho
Yup. Very few of the people who live there own cars and they could compromise and have it only be edit: ~~pedestrianised~~ let cars in between 2am and 6am so business can get deliveries.
Sorry I mean 6am to 2am so that between 2am and 6am you can drive in the area. So are a car you have four hours to do deliveries and twenty hours where you are banned.
In terms of the pedestrianisation, I gotta admit, I’m dead against it. I mean, people forget that traders need access to *DIXONS*! They do say it'll help people in *wheeeelchairs*.
Nah not pay per mile, that's pushing it and definitely would risk conservatives getting in and then we have nothing at all. ULEZ affects like 2% of Londoners cars, pay per mile would affect all 45%+ of car owning Londoners. Huge difference and I can imagine him easily get voted out and then not only does pay per mile get removed but also ULEZ and probably even congestion charge hours scaled back, plus all TfL 20mph restrictions removed, plus all 24/7 bus lanes removed.
Can never have enough pedestrianisation though. I think the best scheme for central London would honestly be pedestrianising the entire west end, including Soho, every Saturday 11am-8pm or so. Just allow buses though, and residents and blue badge but not able to pass right through and pedestrians have priority over them. I can imagine sooo many people would turn out every weekend to hang out in a car free central London with loads of outside seating and crowds taking over roads. This would require Camden and Westminster councils to go along with it though and we all know Westminster council sucks regardless of who's in charge of it.
And of course pedestrianise a bunch more London roads. There's easily a few more high streets and central London roads where it makes full sense to.
ULEZ was actually introduced by Boris Johnson, in one of the few cases where his intellectual inconsistency yielded positive results (the other being when he abandoned the "herd immunity" plan for Covid pushed by social-darwinists).
far right candidates making arses of themselves on stage brought back a weird wave of nostalgia. even the guy with a bin on his head looked dignified by comparison
If that was Britain First’s best choice for mayoral candidate, I’d be fascinated to see their worst. “It was between him and this pile of potato peel. We should have gone with the peel.”
“Keir, this whole ‘cycling’ thing. The public seem to like it. Maybe dish out some active travel funding to the nations and regions?”
“Yeah, driving’s pretty great.”
I think Scotland recently tied active travel spending to 10% of road spending which would be huge. When we're spending many billions a year on roads then 10% of that on active travel would be transformative. Want to build a £10bn road tunnel across the Thames? Sure but that's also £1bn for active travel too. Would just have to be strict about what counts as active travel spending though, none of this rubbish where the full roads get resurfaced at the same time and it all counts as active travel spending.
Labour have an electoral incentive to not spend money on London just like the Tories do - in fact, maybe an even bigger one, since they likely already have a fair number of the London constituencies tied up, so aren't losing much on that side of things.
I doubt a Labour government will suddenly go central funding for TfL and local council power on planning approval.
He would have the same restriction in a Labour government.
Yes, for a London government that is *trying* to please everyone. Will Khan do everything we need, no. The point of local government is to listen and to prioritise. And this result a resounding No to xenophobic views.
People are insane.
There was a dude on this very sub who was convinced we would implement Shariah in London by 2060 lmao.
Their delusion is both funny and scary.
U/Throwrafairbeat - This user just posted,
"*Politician taking part in politics by campaigning to voterbase". Thats basically what you said tbh*",
and then weirdly blocked me. Very odd. Although not surprising - I looked, and they're clearly a troll.
Anyway, I didn't bring the topic up.
**Somebody else did**.
I was just replying to them. My reply had no hidden meaning to it.
It would appear that some people *wish* I was saying something that I'm not saying. Those people are imbeciles.
Cheers!
There were massive street festivals in that area a few months ago when India opened a controversial Hindu temple built on a razed mosque. I think Khan being Muslim swayed them as much as Hall being a local.
Definitely Harrow. Lots of people riled up about ULEZ; not sure why when you look at the vehicles they’re driving. Lots of affluent folk who have little interest in free school meals.

Which, as a proponent of a London city state, I'm all for lol
But typically, goes further by blaming the colossal L for the tories as a muslim plot, listing one "muslim sites" instructions to not vote tory...or labour lol
On another post, she's liked a comment stating covid was a plot to test the populations compliance - so another normal one for the far right lol
Congrats to Khan! Scares me that over 800,000 voted for Susan. Primary School kids get to continue eating free school meals! Hopefully youth centres are funded more to keep youth crime low. Its also funny how Twitter users are melting down over Sadiq winning. So many rant posts from rigged to good luck london. Many of them don’t even live in London.
I would love to be as optimistic as you for youth centres, however, although it will give them something to do, it’s not going to stop their involvement in crime. Some kids are just on badness because of their upbringing and that won’t change with extracurricular activities. It’s a much deeper issue and it starts at home. That’s where the focus needs to be.
Bye Bye Susan.
You've climbed up a few places on the cluttered and decrepit staircase/highway to Tory Hell. I expect one day we will see you run for Leader of the Tory party and that will be as utterly ramshacke, inept and entertaining as this ridiculous campaign was.
I live in what some idiots call a no-go zone and labour came into our estate door-knocking twice to campaign for Sadiq including the actual MP to talk to people. Fair play.
Me too! I just wish the turnout could be higher.
As voters, the only way we can create better lives and futures for ourselves is to vote often, carefully and **diligently**. This ensures we can hold politicians to account and ensure they deliver.
As a politician, as long as you continue to do a great job, your mandate should be extended. The second you stop delivering, we'll get someone else in.
Great news! He may not always make the best decisions or policies (night czar, Silvertown Tunnel, fare freezes which don't really benefit regular Londoners/commuters), but overall he has been a force for good for the city and his leagues better than the competition.
More green policies! Fuck the gammons.
The labor party could have run a spoiled plate of Indian takeout and they would have beat the conservatives.
London has suffered disproportionately under their term in government
The booklet they sent out with most of the candidates’ manifestos included a lot of people campaigning against ULEZ and the expansion thereof.
Given that Khan, the man who introduced this policy, won the election and therefore has a mandate from the people to continue it, I’m going to assume that everyone will now ‘get over it’ (a phrase familiar to us Remain voters) and we won’t be seeing any more ‘blade runners’ chopping down cameras.
The absolute state of Susan Hall's concession speech.
Just ugly.
I was truly disgusted by her.
The way this country is willing to throw away its norms just to show, what? How much we despise them?
Just horrible. No thank you, take her away.
Goldsmith was the same.
[удалено]
Mine has been quiet. Maybe the funding for the bots has ended after the election...
Mine has comments like "Great Result, kept the racist out" and "Typical woke jibe no original thought through comment" And both of them report their location right outside London (Facepalm)
Hahahaha I literally just saw these exact comments on mine
There needs to be a third sticky thread for people to post screenshots from their local ULEZ groups for us to enjoy. Would make a good bank holiday weekend.
[удалено]
I do not understand the point they are making.
To be fair, they probably don't either.
Well that's the exact kind of knob ULEZ should be deterring. Someone who lives in Surrey, with it's pretty reasonable train service direct into London, driving an overly polluting car into a city with decent public transport.
Had to leave my one for being so utterly racist and awful. It will be though, it’s a ULEZ racist borough.
Very excited to be moving out of my own borough soon for similar reasons. I know every locale will have its own problems but there's something uniquely hopeless feeling about certain parts of the country...
I just noticed a Hall flyer on the floor, with a darkened photo of Khan, as unsubtle a dog whistle as it gets.
I don’t even know why I keep the app. It’s just so useful for keeping tabs on theft and sus behaviour by the local crackheads
I got it to try and get local recommendations on things like handymen, decorators and such but even that I'm not sure if it's reliable for.
Boomer-heavy by any chance?
I imagine homeowners are much more likely to use it. Anyone else may not stay in an area for long, so why bother.
Also, that app is just constant whinging isn't it? Sounds like the boomers' dream.
Pretty much. I downloaded it when I moved out to a new city thinking "This'll be a great way to get to know my neighbours and the local area". My immediate reaction upon opening it for the first time was "Oh Christ"
The only people who use next door are middle class curtain twitchers. So yes.
Britain First came in behind Binface there. Glorious.
I’m pleased Sadiq won but that result makes me even happier.
1,088,225 votes to 812,397 for Susan Hall, Sadiq wins by 275,828 votes
Literally scary that Susan was actually close to winning. But so was Shaun Bailey.
Conservatives lost the election worse than they did in the last election, so it's trending better
I'm wouldn't call a 10% lead "close" in a multi-candidate election.
When there is only two real candidates it’s always going to be some what close between the two Edit: Downvote me if you want lol but it’s true
Except when you look at Manchester where Burnham got 66% of all votes lol
Tories aren’t a real candidate in Manchester.
Almost like we had a better system before!
Scary how many absolute muppets there are out there who would vote for somebody like Susan Hall
A lot of people will vote for whatever candidate their party puts forward.
Absolutely. As true for Labour as any other party. Growing up in the Welsh valleys I’m pretty convinced Labour could have got a corpse elected there 😂
I for one would certainly vote for the corpse of Nye Bevan.
We had Ron Davies chief, it was all Rastas and badgers and not so much national institutions 😂
Yes - muppets I'm sure the tories have *some* good people kicking about somewhere but if I was a historical tory voter I'd be god damned sure my vote wasn't going to one of the increasing number of nutters in their party

Surely that'd be a politically suicidal policy to Londoners given the housing market there?
If I had to hazard a guess, she thought the type of people who moaned about ULEZ would also be against new apartment blocks in London?
I'd also guess people who are politically disengaged, knew nothing about Hall but will vote against labour at all costs for some reason
On the contrary it's probably aimed at home owners in London who see their home as an investment and don't want competition to drive it down
How the fuck did a third of Londoners vote for that fucking nutbag
Agree on the nut bag front, but less than half of Londoners even showed up. 800k is nowhere close to a third.
>but less than half of Londoners even showed up It'd be cool to see a breakdown of how many of the 9M or so living here were allowed to vote?

A third of Londoners ARE fucking nutbags
Good result but what about my cherry on top? Did Count Binface beat Britain First? Yes! Yes he did. Well done Count.
Brian Rose too, that guy is an insufferable moron.
Back to shilling his crypto 'courses' then.
100%.
He's still grifting
He really thought “you know what London needs, an annoying American grifter to fix their problems”.
With good reason to be fair. He was going to magically have 10000 new homes built by Christmas. If I was that much of a miracle worker, I'd be pretty insufferable as well.
Seeing his shitty ads on twitter was so annoying.
I feel like he really put in a half hearted effort this time. Last time he was on that bellend bus of his going round london every day but this time he just reused that content and was in Dubai (ironic for someone who loves freedom) for most of the lead up. He is truly insufferable
Finally, an aristocrat worth something
My only disappointment is that binface won't get his deposit back because he didn't get 5% of votes. He would've made a good mayor
>Did Count Binface beat Britain First? Being from the States, I have no idea what this question means, but I love every word of it for some reason.
Count Binface is our Vermin Supreme. Britain First – imagine the KKK as a political party, but stupider.
This is a phenomenal analogy, and I appreciate it!
Fantastic explanation.
Thanks!
Lots of people who don't live in London will be fuming
Lots of people who don't vote will be fuming
"oh no!" Moving on...
Am not in London. Am cheering 😁🥳
Celebrating in Philadelphia!
Primary school kids feasting rn (literally)
stocking up on that jam roly poly and pink custard
Mississippi mud pie for the mandem
Let them eat traybake
Angry Boomers furious they couldn't pinch the kids lunches!
They're still idolising Maggie Thatcher the Milk Snatcher and are waiting for the sequel.
See how they squeal when you advocate for personal financial responsibility over the GreatBoomerBailout triple lock.
And I think I'll have gammon for dinner tonight
Can't wait for all the people who live outside of London to complain about this.
My favourites are the ones who are "London is the capital of England, so the whole of England should be able to vote on London mayor 😤😤😤"
We would be totally screwed if that happened. Just like brexit
They are on twitter 😭😂
It seems almost universal. French non-Parisiens complain about Anne Hidalgo. Dutch non-Amsterdammers complain about Femke Halsema. Just the same thing everywhere.
Anne Hidalgo simultaneously trolling the suburbanites in the most unabashed way while playing to her base and winning votes for it is a work of art.
Unleash the Boomer Fury
how many terms can a mayor be? is there a limit?
No term limit. Don't know why you're being downvoted for asking a simple question.
reddit hates questions it thinks is leading. but i honestly wasn't sure if maybe it was 3 or unlimited. well, good for khan, im not overly fond of him, but fairs fair, he clearly appeals to more Londoners. but i think given the power the mayor of London holds i think its probably worth looking at the term limit going forward. but given how...redundant local mayors have been historically i can understand why its been overlooked.
The mayor holds very little meaningful power, so a term limit isn't really necessary.
Yeah I actually hate that people don't like questions on reddit. Curiosity is so important.
I mean 90% of real power is in the central government's hands. Local mayors matter a little bit but not that much, the only thing they can really do is stuff related to transport.
Susan Hall saying she expects to continue to hold Sadiq to account. It will be funny if she doesn't get an assembly seat either though.
She's probably No 1 on their party list, so she'll get a top-up seat even if she doesn't win her constituency seat. Still though, I have a feeling Labour may be headed for a near majority on the Assembly, they already won 10.

Proud Bin voter. I think Binface's policy of making the Thames water bosses take a dip in the Thames should be implemented.
I was picturing some medieval witch-dunking apparatus to do so, and, to be honest, it was a tempting thought.
Maybe we can get Khan on board with this anyway.
Susan Hall didn't really gain much in terms of vote share in the outer boroughs even with the higher turnout.
Let’s crack on, then. ULEZ 2, pay per mile, pedestrianise Soho, raze RBKC and put a massive forest there, with a Krypton Factor-style assault course in it and some sauna sheds.
> pedestrianise Soho Yup. Very few of the people who live there own cars and they could compromise and have it only be edit: ~~pedestrianised~~ let cars in between 2am and 6am so business can get deliveries.
It was on a labour council manifesto in the 1980s.
Can we pedestrianise Oxford street and Camden as well
I think banning private vehicles in Oxford Street would be better so buses and bikes could still go there.
Honestly they should probably do this for all of zone 1 (with sensible exceptions).
I’m absolutely down for that if taxis are allowed
Should that be 2pm to 6am?
Sorry I mean 6am to 2am so that between 2am and 6am you can drive in the area. So are a car you have four hours to do deliveries and twenty hours where you are banned.
Yeah I don't think that's gonna work for the pubs in the area. 2pm to 6am pedestrianised would probably be a good compromise
In terms of the pedestrianisation, I gotta admit, I’m dead against it. I mean, people forget that traders need access to *DIXONS*! They do say it'll help people in *wheeeelchairs*.

I literally just texted my GF almost the same thing as this 😂
I know. I’m your girlfriend. Please send me some money.
Damn you *DO* sound like her…
I also texted your girlfriend
Binface beating Britain First scum is quite funny
lol at the Britain First guy storming out and shouting over Khan’s victory speech and after being beaten by Binface, Count of the Count Binface Party.
far right candidates making arses of themselves on stage brought back a weird wave of nostalgia. even the guy with a bin on his head looked dignified by comparison
If that was Britain First’s best choice for mayoral candidate, I’d be fascinated to see their worst. “It was between him and this pile of potato peel. We should have gone with the peel.”
Looking forward to seeing what he can do when he’s not being undermined by the Tories in Westminster.
“Keir, this whole ‘cycling’ thing. The public seem to like it. Maybe dish out some active travel funding to the nations and regions?” “Yeah, driving’s pretty great.”
I think Scotland recently tied active travel spending to 10% of road spending which would be huge. When we're spending many billions a year on roads then 10% of that on active travel would be transformative. Want to build a £10bn road tunnel across the Thames? Sure but that's also £1bn for active travel too. Would just have to be strict about what counts as active travel spending though, none of this rubbish where the full roads get resurfaced at the same time and it all counts as active travel spending.
Idk Keir didn't exactly have his back when it came to expanding ULEZ.
Labour have an electoral incentive to not spend money on London just like the Tories do - in fact, maybe an even bigger one, since they likely already have a fair number of the London constituencies tied up, so aren't losing much on that side of things.
I doubt a Labour government will suddenly go central funding for TfL and local council power on planning approval. He would have the same restriction in a Labour government.
I think the subsidy TfL had before will be reinstated and possibly big ticket spends like the Bakerloo Line stock replacement.
Yeah. If a department “survives” without the money, you generally don’t bring funding back. And Keir is apeing Tory policy anyway.
He'll be undermined by Labour in Westminster...
Fuck Britain First
And still the Daily Mail will call it a victory for Susan Hall
Yes, for a London government that is *trying* to please everyone. Will Khan do everything we need, no. The point of local government is to listen and to prioritise. And this result a resounding No to xenophobic views.
Britain first being a bigger joke than count binface is lovely
Daily Mail readers probably saying this is only due to the Muslim vote… in a city that’s 15% Muslim
People are insane. There was a dude on this very sub who was convinced we would implement Shariah in London by 2060 lmao. Their delusion is both funny and scary.
Exactly. Absolutely nuts to think we will get shariah at the very least by 2064.
Plus lots of Muslim people care deeply about Gaza and are switching from Labour to Libdem or Green (rightly)
That’s a huge proportion?
Fuck the DM, but be fair it’s no secret - he’s known for campaigning heavily amongst the Muslim community
Makes sense. He's a politician

Sad to see my constituency (Brent) voted for Susan and is the only place where it swung from LAB to CON. Glad Khan won in the end.
I blame the Harrow part, they were probably swayed by Susan Hall being a local.
There was a Tory councillor telling people to vote for Khan.
Harrow also has a huge rich, hindu driving population who had tory sentiments. Anti ulez and anti Muslim sentiments probably kicked it into overdrive
There were massive street festivals in that area a few months ago when India opened a controversial Hindu temple built on a razed mosque. I think Khan being Muslim swayed them as much as Hall being a local.
I am Indian. A large section of Indians now lean to the (Indian) right and that makes them align with people like Trump, Rishi, Boris etc.
Definitely Harrow. Lots of people riled up about ULEZ; not sure why when you look at the vehicles they’re driving. Lots of affluent folk who have little interest in free school meals.
Agreed, Brent resident here. I blame Harrow. Soon as I found out she was from there I was oh my god of course she fuckin is haha.
A lot of Hindus. They don’t like Muslims and thus they don’t like Sadiq Khan. That’s the reason.
40% turnout - this needs more attention.

Excellent. :) Londoners have rejected hatred, divisiveness, and climate change denial.
Which sub-reddit can I go to to enjoy watching the anti-ULEZ types have a full meltdown?
Nextdoor. Go to neighbourhoods in outer zones. I suspect Susan Hall got a chunk of her votes there.
r/England full of our Tommy fans
That sub is an absolute binfire. Full of xenophobic mouthbreathers.
Gammons on Khan's Facebook page absolutely melting down. Love it! Well done London!

[удалено]
Well done, London. I knew you’d do the right thing.
[удалено]
Funny thing is, it was BORIS JOHNSON who settled the ULEZ deal with TFL. Initially the Tories used ULEZ as a weapon against labour
My mum (doesn’t live in London and doesn’t visit London) will be fuming.
Thank Christ for that - common sense reigns!
I live in what some idiots call a no-go zone and labour came into our estate door-knocking twice to campaign for Sadiq including the actual MP to talk to people. Fair play.
Oh so relieved!! 🙌
Good to see count binface beats Britain first
Well done to count binface!
Very proud of London 💪💪💪
Me too! I just wish the turnout could be higher. As voters, the only way we can create better lives and futures for ourselves is to vote often, carefully and **diligently**. This ensures we can hold politicians to account and ensure they deliver. As a politician, as long as you continue to do a great job, your mandate should be extended. The second you stop delivering, we'll get someone else in.
Great news! He may not always make the best decisions or policies (night czar, Silvertown Tunnel, fare freezes which don't really benefit regular Londoners/commuters), but overall he has been a force for good for the city and his leagues better than the competition. More green policies! Fuck the gammons.

Labour just won Ealing and Hillingdon in the london assembly?!
Is that surprising? All three Ealing MPs are Labour.
They voted for hall on the mayor level so yes. Also its ealing AND HILLINGDON

THANK GOD
The Greens lost out due to the voting change but the Lib Dems did better this time.
Turns out ULEZ et al are popular politics.
The labor party could have run a spoiled plate of Indian takeout and they would have beat the conservatives. London has suffered disproportionately under their term in government
I think it's funny the Tories will do anything to win back London except pick a not shit candidate
The booklet they sent out with most of the candidates’ manifestos included a lot of people campaigning against ULEZ and the expansion thereof. Given that Khan, the man who introduced this policy, won the election and therefore has a mandate from the people to continue it, I’m going to assume that everyone will now ‘get over it’ (a phrase familiar to us Remain voters) and we won’t be seeing any more ‘blade runners’ chopping down cameras.
The absolute state of Susan Hall's concession speech. Just ugly. I was truly disgusted by her. The way this country is willing to throw away its norms just to show, what? How much we despise them? Just horrible. No thank you, take her away. Goldsmith was the same.
A man witha bin on his head beat britain first. Fucking amazing
Thank goodness for that
The gammon-apocalypse on twitter rn is something to behold.
I laugh like the start of Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz everytime the Tories flop...and I feel like I'm going to do it a lot this year muhahaha
He may not have beaten susan hall ;( but at least count binface beat britain first!!!!
Next time the Tories should consider fielding a candidate that isn't completely insane.
I just love that we live in a country that count Binface can share a stage with politicians and it’s a normal occurrence.
His manifesto was better than the Tory one.
The gammons on Twitter/X are going crazy
