I mean I’d take it on, but I’m not sure which one of your 42 burner accounts would pay up at the end.

If the bet is for who is winning the London Mayoral election I’ll happily take that lol

Seems WM is a close Labour win as well, apparently Tories asking for a recount.

Recount in Coventry apparently.

Looks like the city of Coventry are the kingmakers.

If you didn't vote, no matter which way it goes, never ever darken my doorway with a moan about the West Midlands mayor. Ever!

Some of the reporting from reputable journalists has left a bit to be desired. I've always found this 'client journalist' stuff a bit tin foil hat but they were stating since voting finished that London was neck and neck and that Street was cruising to victory.

Where is that information coming from because it's clearly not from anywhere reliable.

All rather bizarre.

Voting has closed. Why sully one's journalistic reputation by peddling nonsense?

Surely it will bite you on the arse one day.

Not all journos, but there’s definitely some Westminster reporters that literally just print what their mates in the party tell them.

Granted she's the Suns political editor and they aren't exactly renowned for accuracy but how do you 'find' thousands of extra votes a couple of hours after journalists have been reporting an expected Street loss by 2,000 - 3,000 votes? News coverage earlier was saying that even with a full recount a change of more than a couple of hundred votes would be unusual

Back from the pub…reassuring

Looks like Labour win anyway. Agreed, if it’s by 3k votes not sure it warrants a recount

Don't live down there so can't comment myself but my mum is gutted. Only time she's ever voted Conservative in her life is for Andy Street. Loves what he's done for the region.

The only problem now will be the spite of Sunak that is why an election needs to happen quickly to stop further damage by this little toad.

Andy Burnham re-elected in Manchester with nearly two thirds of the vote. Tories barely got 10%

I really like Andy Burnham always strikes as a great potential leader but wouldn’t excite the southern press.

Yep. Could definitely see them asking him to join them if the GE is really bad.

I see Sunak is telling anyone who will listen that the results from last week prove that we’re heading for a hung parliament. Not sure if he’s a fool or he thinks everyone else is. I don’t think in his case the two are mutually exclusive.

It’s a pretty ridiculous statement. Voting is always narrower at GE’s than council elections. If independents were a party they were the forth biggest party last week, that won’t happen at a GE. Crucially it was only English elections last week, he’s working on the premise that Labour won’t make gains in Scotland, which seems highly unlikely given the state of the SNP at the moment.

No doubt that the polls will narrow and the Tories will do better than polls suggest but unless Reform chooses not to run it’s difficult to see where they’re going to get the votes from to win enough seats in England for it to be a hung parliament and it is England that they’ll have to do it in. They’re not going to take Scotland or Wales.

The narrative is actually really good for Labour. Will limit protest voting and encourage the vote to get out where a landslide would give people permission not to bother.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a PM as bad at politics as Sunak.

Labour now the party to join if you want to ban abortion but advocate for mild social democracy or the end to a genocide and you'll be booted out.
