A partial “bundle” recount has been ordered in Birmingham for the election of the West Midlands mayor.
As piles of ballot papers were moved onto desks nearer the stage at the International Convention Centre, an official announcement said a bundle check would take place.
The announcer told party activists to ensure counting agents were available to supervise and observe the checks.

The results in the West Midlands mayoral election look set for a nail-biting finale, as it has just been announced a full recount is taking place in Coventry, one of the seven local authorities which make up the combined authority area.
This is apparently going to take another two hours, meaning we could be well into the evening before we get a result - it was due to be announced at around 3pm.

Sadiq Khan is officially declared the winner in the London mayoral election with 1,088,225 votes, a majority of 276,707.
Good result. Quite a strong return for an, unprecedented, third term as well.Khan re-elected in London
I read it was the Tories which called for it. I think we know the outcome of this.

Compared to a candidate who is an Islamophobic, hard-right, Trump and Truss supporter, who ’liked’ a tweet of an image of Enoch Powell captioned: “It’s never too late to get our London back”? Compared to candidate who promotes online climate science deniers and has opposed all green policies that have been introduced in London over the past decade to improve air quality?Khan re-elected in London
I think Londoners got off lightly.

Silly old bat
Count Binface beat Britain First.
I wonder if they’ll go full Trump if they lose? A brilliant distraction to the clusterfudge of local elections they been whooped in this week.

I voted for Zoë Garbett of the Green Party.

Happy with that. I like him.Khan re-elected in London
This is actually a very interesting post.
Pretty much everyone assumed it was a two horse race, because that’s what the media have played it as.
There were other candidates.
The Tories fronted a Facebook racist who ran a lying, populist campaign, as per their current playbook. But it’s perfectly valid to not vote for her and not like Khan.

I think the Green Party do a fairly decent job with limited resources.
