Incredible.

Conservatives trounced in the local elections, but the bbc flagship politicial programme lead “interview” is an unchallenged rant from the delusional, divisive, twice-sacked, right wing crank, Suella Braverman.

Why was she platformed?

The Tories were thrashed in the local and Mayoral elections.

Reform UK were humiliated.

So why is the BBC’s flagship weekend political programme bothering with Suella Braverman?

Having crashed the country into a wall, Suella Braverman’s judgment is that they weren’t driving fast enough. You can’t BUY brilliance like that.

Green Party: *record their best ever result in local elections, with the Tories recording their worst*

BBC: “It is vital that we speak to twice-sacked Home Secretary and howling far-right extremist Suella Braverman immediately.”

The biggest local election news SHOULD BE that the Green Party have kicked Reform UK’s arses nationwide…

But don’t expect Caroline Lucas to replace Nigel Farage on your TV screens anytime soon…

Here’s an important bit of data visualisation that I don’t think I’ve seen from anyone yet. I’ve crunched the numbers and put them in a chart myself. This is the proportional change of seats for each party:

🟢 +69%
🟠 +25%
🔴 +19%
🔵 -48%

If only all the people coming on Twitter to say they hate actually lived in London and could vote against him.

Most Londoners who have lived through his last two terms admire his dignity, like his policies and are, by a large majority, very pleased to have him back

London has spoken.
No to Islamophobia.
No to endorsing Trump.
No to the torrent of Tory lies.
Yes to our brilliant, richly diverse city.
Yes to the values of decency and compassion.
Yes to Sadiq.

Labour winning in the West Mids and North Yorkshire, Burnham and Rotheram strolling to victory and Khan dunking on Susan Hall.

Mr Sunak your boys have taken one hell of a beating

It really says a lot about the kind of candidate Susan Hall was that she manages to produce less grace and dignity in defeat than the man wearing a bin on his head.

How is this funny or normal thing to say about the Mayor of the largest city in this country? Twice elected and soon to be third time likely.

Now do you see why so many others like shun public life? This is pure, unadulterated nonsense racist abuse.

The race in London wasn’t close. It was Sadiq Khan’s most convincing result of the three he’s won with an 11% lead over Susan Hall. That should not really be a surprise. There were some crazy hares running around yesterday!

Susan Hall's strategy of telling Londoners that they live in a crime-ridden, festering shit hole, that could only be improved with more cars and pollution might have gone down well with xenophobic bigots .... but it was never going to work in the place it mattered.
