In my view when Reform chose this guy they were essentially conceding the race already

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

It's being dubbed the 'worst political interview in history'

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

I see no reason right now why Greens can’t become largest party of local government in London in 2030, maybe evening winning Mayor of London in “28 if not then “32

🗳️ UPDATE | Final London council control:

🔴 Lab: 12 (-8)
🔵 Con: 9 (+4)
🟢 Grn: 6 (+6)
🟠 Lib: 3 (-)
➡️ Ref: 1 (+1)
🟠 Aspire: 1 (-)

Labour now leads just 12 of 32 boroughs, its lowest tally of councils in the capital since *2006* (they had 10).

We should offer flat swaps to the residents of Soho so they can move out because clearly they hate the area

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

The Soho Society is objecting to *every* new bar/restaurant licence in what is supposed to be the centre of London’s nightlife. More planning/licensing insanity.

I asked them to come on my Sunday LBC show: "We will absolutely not be taking questions from journalists". Of course not.

Labour Party is just rotten to its core isn’t it

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

I have severe concerns about the incoming Coalition in Southwark and whether it will focus on community safety and housing needs. I suspect it’ll McCrash and burn. Time will tell.

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

A single point lead in hypothetical polling? He’s one unpopular decision away from being in the same place as Starmer

I low key thought she’d been running this whole time

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Labour MP Dawn Butler will launch a campaign to become Mayor of London this Wednesday

The election takes place in 2028 and Sadiq Khan has not yet confirmed he is running for a fourth term

[@AvaSantina]

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Why be so unambitious? Demand he be made foreign secretary

[Sandra Mitchell @glabsandra]

NEW: John McDonnell has told @cathynewman he hopes Andy Burnham reinstates Jeremy Corbyn as a Labour MP and he’d “raise it with him” personally. @TimesRadio

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Guys I love gossip and my DMs are open 🙏

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

From Popbitch.

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

@Nix_Astra My gut says he’ll win, he’s seen as an anti-Starmer vote therefore Reform minded voters will go for him to get out Starmer as PM

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Turns out it’ll be a Reform fight with Burnham not Greens, very risky move

[Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot]

BREAKING - Josh Simons to stand down in Makerfield so Andy Burnham can run for parliament

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

1,600 people want to vote for the next PM

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Politics UK understands around 1,600 new members have joined Labour since last Thursday

The vast majority cited support for Keir Starmer as the reason

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Implied national vote share last week had Greens in 2nd, but sure

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Benali will make a amazing Assembly Member, an amazing extra benefit to winning Mayor of Hackney is giving another Green a massive platform

[London Assembly @LondonAssembly]

Welcome to Benali Hamdache, who will be the new Assembly Member for the Green Party.

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

“The Green will lose their voters in rural England” update:

[Election Maps UK @ElectionMapsUK]

Ward-level maps for our Upper Tier (Norfolk, Hampshire, East Sussex, West Sussex, and Suffolk county councils) have all been filled out.

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

@JackDunc1 This is a bit much they’ve been incredibly friendly towards the party and given us a lot of good coverage

[Tom Judge @JudgeTheFuture]

Not been on here much because I've been helping a ton with the Hackney Greens campaign, and the result is insane. We couldn't have dreamed a better outcome. It's been exhausting but really happy I put so much energy into it, one of the best things I've ever done

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This deserves to be circulated.

A former Red Cross staff member got in touch.

She testifies about @ZackPolanski's role.

For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau.

The whole thing is a desperate smear.
