In Newham, the Labour dominance continues unchecked. After winning the Mayoralty by 73-12 over the Conservatives, Labour walked off with all 60 Council seats winning 74% of the vote to the Conservatives 15%.
Only Labour and the Conservatives put up full slates but Labour scored above 60% in every Ward bar one which I'll come back to. In seven of the twenty Newham Council Wards, Labour scored over 80% of the vote with the highest being Little Ilford where the three Labour seats beat the three Conservative candidates by 88% to 12%.
Beckton, Custom House and Royal Docks had Labour winning percentages of 64-65% but Labour's weakest performance came in Stratford & New Town where the three winning candidates scored just 55%.
Lib Dem Gareth Evans was fourth and the only non-Labour candidate anywhere in the Borough to get more than 10% of the vote. The three LD candidates got 20% of the vote and the three Conservatives 17%. The best non-Labour performance collectively was in Royal Docks where the Conservative candidates polled 21%.
The Greens finished second in the two Forest Gate Wards but a very long way behind Labour (as indeed everyone was).
Turnout was 36% for the Mayoral election.
thank you for the update.
How did LEAVE do so well in Newham (for a London council) ? Such Labour dominance, yet many ignored the message.
Commonwealth citizen voters who didn't like seeing Eastern Europeans getting more favourable UK immigration rights than their relatives and friends? And giving the Cameron government a kicking.
Not hard to see why Newham was quite close in June 2016 as was Redbridge.
Anyone who is deluded enough to believe the EPL has a high standard really should watch Man U, a team still likely to come second and who have made the FA Cup final. They are atrocious. Players like Pogba, earning £200k a week, find it too difficult to pass the ball to their own teammates. It is pathetic.

Progressive/Marxist Alliance of Labour, LD, SNP and Greens with Corbyn as PM opposed by Tories still largest party led by hard Brexiteer Leader of the Opposition Jacob Rees Mogg and allied with the DUP?
While the stench of Jew hate racism hangs over Corbyn's LAB the LDs won't go near them. I doubt if the SNP will either
Given a choice between making Rees-Mogg PM or Corbyn PM who do you think the LDs would choose? In that case I think they would prop up Corbyn, if May still remains Tory leader they may give her confidence and supply while Corbyn is the alternative.
Most unlikely the LDs would lift a finger to prop up the Tories. Post Coalition they will be desperate to restore some credibility with centre-left voters. The 'Tories' Little Helpers' label continues to haunt them.
Yes but most centre-left voters are now voting for Corbyn, much of the LDs current support comes from centrists, Remainers and NIMBYS in SW London and the Home Counties who are deeply suspicious of Corbyn

Speaking as a Tory turned LD, that is a horrible choice. I’d probably have to go RM. At least he wouldn’t bankrupt the country.
It may be a horrible choice but with RM the Tory members' favourite to succeed May it might be the choice facing the LDs in a few years time, interesting you went with RM.
He'll have to get through the MP's ballot first.
Even Leadsom and IDS managed that so it is not as big a hurdle as it seems

Hey Tory party, what first attracted you to abusive, racist, winning candidate X?
Could it be the same thing that caused hundreds of Corbynista racist tweets about Sajid Javid? (Which, despite Labour's claims to be against racism, have failed to raise a single condemnation from Corbyn, Abbott or Mcdonnell. Or, indeed, any words of condemnation from Theuniondivvie.)
I'm not a Labour supporter.
Of course if you feel that supporters of a party should be the first to condemn the behaviour of other supporters (or in fact elected reps) of that party, knock yourself out sport.

They did so better than all the rest. After so many years you can’t blame him for celebrating a bit!

Not hard to see why Newham was quite close in June 2016 as was Redbridge.
Sure but that would be common across many parts of London, the Newham result stands out.
Newham is quite poor and has relatively few white middle class liberals like the heavily remain boroughs. So a core solid remain base didn't exist there like it did in many of the inner boroughs And like Redbridge it has a large Asian population which feels it has been suffering adversely in immigration terms due to the EU post A10 accession and the resulting efforts to reduce non EU immigration.
And life isn't easy in Newham - and people who are having it tougher in life were more likely to vote leave. Smug white middle class liberals in Richmond and Islington who are experiencing a different and more prosperous life probably still don't get that. Cos surely if you decide to live in London and claim to want to experience the diversity it has to offer why pick Twickenham over Canning Town?

David Haye is favourite to win the fight tomorrow night vs Tony Bellew. The market thinks it's going to be a stoppage.
Neither is a bad boxer and the thinking is that if Haye connects it's all over. But Bellew is cannier than that and will try not to do an Amir Khan vs Canelo, where Amir paid attention for several rounds before losing concentration and getting sparked out.
If you think they will both box clever then you can back a points win by both and be up if it goes the distance and is not a draw, whoever wins.

An interesting alternative history would be to consider what the Lib Dem experience of Coalition would have been if they'd managed not to shoot themselves in the foot over tuition fees.
I think it's perfectly possible for Lib Dems in the not so distant future to convince themselves that it wasn't a Coalition with the Tories itself that put them into so much bother, but some specifics about how they implemented it, and how poorly they negotiated with their Coalition partners given the manifesto they had stood for election with. Then they can convince themselves that they would do so much better a second time around.

Candidates for Shadwell called by the Returning Officer
It's Rabina Khan's ward
I just don't know how it can take so long to count votes. Birmingham is about 5 times larger than Tower Hamlets in population and they finished many hours ago, as you know.
The Lib Dems should not be making Barnsley Central a target. They cannot do so without undermining their core USP - and that contradictory-messages-to-discrete-groups is precisely what caused their collapse in the first place when the reality of power hit them and they had to have the same policies for everyone.
If correct then Hunt's claims seem very odd: cock-up, conspiracy (to blame Labour with the 2009 date) or just panic after he'd seen an alleged cover-up end Amber Rudd's career?

At the previous Tower Hamlets election it was reported by the Conservative group leader that friends and family of the Tower Hamlets independents were allegedly walking in and out of the count all the time and preventing it from being conducted in an orderly way. It ended up in court and the judge cancelled some of the results IIRC. It looks like most of that faction have been defeated this time by Labour which is probably something we can all agree is a positive development.

It looks like most of that faction have been defeated this time by Labour which is probably something we can all agree is a positive development.
Progressive/Marxist Alliance of Labour, LD, SNP and Greens with Corbyn as PM opposed by Tories still largest party led by hard Brexiteer Leader of the Opposition Jacob Rees Mogg and allied with the DUP?
While the stench of Jew hate racism hangs over Corbyn's LAB the LDs won't go near them. I doubt if the SNP will either
Given a choice between making Rees-Mogg PM or Corbyn PM who do you think the LDs would choose? In that case I think they would prop up Corbyn, if May still remains Tory leader they may give her confidence and supply while Corbyn is the alternative.
Most unlikely the LDs would lift a finger to prop up the Tories. Post Coalition they will be desperate to restore some credibility with centre-left voters. The 'Tories' Little Helpers' label continues to haunt them.
On the other hand propping up McDonnell and Corbyn, and thus taking responsibility for economic catastrophe, would be suicide, trashing the brand for decades if not permanently.
Tough business, making decisions, eh?
Not necessarily so at all. Quite easy to imagine the LDs having a restraining influence on them and getting credit for that.

Corbyn is not so perceived - despite bad apples. Far more racists in the Tory ranks - pro-Apartheid 'Hang Mandela' types.
I cannot see the SNP propping up the Tories over Labour, that really doesn't seem likely at all. The Lib Dems is a closer run thing but I can see a lot of resistance to any kind of support for the Conservatives. Hard to say but given the choice I think they would back Labour over the Tories.
I wouldn't necessarily see them joining in with say a Lab+SNP+PC+Green coalition if the Con+DUP had bigger numbers and they had to join the former to make it work, though I wouldn't rule it out. I couldn't see the Lib Dems adding their numbers to a Con+DUP block to stop a bigger Lab+SNP+PC+Green block though.

I think it is known as believing your own hype... the fact that UKIP took the BNP votes and then the Conservatives took a majority of UKIP votes by copying their policies is unimportant, the fact that left winger Diane Abbot gets a third of all abuse sent to politicians is just coincidence, clearly it is the left who are bad and racist.

A former MP is claiming £1m in damages from the Metropolitan Police after being falsely accused of child sexual abuse and murder. Harvey Proctor is also taking legal action against his accuser - a man known by the pseudonym "Nick".
Operation Midland began in 2014 after Nick claimed boys had been sexually abused and that three had been murdered by a group of powerful men from politics, the military and law enforcement agencies.
Retired judge Sir Richard Henriques later reviewed the investigation and identified 43 serious failings in his report, including that Nick had been believed for too long and that search warrants had been applied for with flawed information.
Nick is separately facing a trial in connection with six charges of possessing images of child abuse and voyeurism.

However, 83% of Jewish people surveyed said that they thought Labour were too tolerant of antisemitism among their MPs, members and supporters.
Also:
The data in this report begs the question: if British society can fight antisemitism, why are our world-renowned criminal justice system and some of our famous political parties still doing too little? Our research clearly shows that British Jews have pointed their fingers at the Crown Prosecution Service and the Labour Party.

And life isn't easy in Newham - and people who are having it tougher in life were more likely to vote leave. Smug white middle class liberals in Richmond and Islington who are experiencing a different and more prosperous life probably still don't get that. Cos surely if you decide to live in London and claim to want to experience the diversity it has to offer why pick Twickenham over Canning Town?

David Haye is favourite to win the fight tomorrow night vs Tony Bellew. The market thinks it's going to be a stoppage.
Neither is a bad boxer and the thinking is that if Haye connects it's all over. But Bellew is cannier than that and will try not to do an Amir Khan vs Canelo, where Amir paid attention for several rounds before losing concentration and getting sparked out.
If you think they will both box clever then you can back a points win by both and be up if it goes the distance and is not a draw, whoever wins.

Tough business, making decisions, eh?
I think it's perfectly possible for Lib Dems in the not so distant future to convince themselves that it wasn't a Coalition with the Tories itself that put them into so much bother, but some specifics about how they implemented it, and how poorly they negotiated with their Coalition partners given the manifesto they had stood for election with. Then they can convince themselves that they would do so much better a second time around.

I wouldn't necessarily see them joining in with say a Lab+SNP+PC+Green coalition if the Con+DUP had bigger numbers and they had to join the former to make it work, though I wouldn't rule it out. I couldn't see the Lib Dems adding their numbers to a Con+DUP block to stop a bigger Lab+SNP+PC+Green block though.

was jailed for 15 months for his part in a scheme to fabricate votes for the Peterborough City Council elections in June 2004.
I don't think either party is racist, evidence showed that anti semitism was actually a bigger problem in the Conservative party than the Labour party, I think for other forms such as Islamophobia and hating Black people and such the Labour party would score a lot less than the Tory party.
I don't think either party is racist but I would say the Conservative party would have the more racist attitudes though.
No - its their claim that they are the 'anti-racist Party' which is coming under scrutiny....
A former MP is claiming £1m in damages from the Metropolitan Police after being falsely accused of child sexual abuse and murder. Harvey Proctor is also taking legal action against his accuser - a man known by the pseudonym "Nick".
Operation Midland began in 2014 after Nick claimed boys had been sexually abused and that three had been murdered by a group of powerful men from politics, the military and law enforcement agencies.
Retired judge Sir Richard Henriques later reviewed the investigation and identified 43 serious failings in his report, including that Nick had been believed for too long and that search warrants had been applied for with flawed information.
Nick is separately facing a trial in connection with six charges of possessing images of child abuse and voyeurism.

I don't see why you think the Conservatives should be rewarded for suspending him, they'll probably reinstate them like they did with Anne Marie and the racist Councillor from the other day.
Probably a quiet thank you in order for taking a public hit to signal to Conservative supporters.

Conservatives who endorsed one anti-semitic statement 40%
Labour who endorsed one anti-semitic statement 32%

The data in this report begs the question: if British society can fight antisemitism, why are our world-renowned criminal justice system and some of our famous political parties still doing too little?
Our research clearly shows that British Jews have pointed their fingers at the Crown Prosecution Service and the Labour Party.
