I would hope that this would show the various racist nutcases that they are in fact a minority and everyone else is loudly voting for them to shut the gently caress up, but I suspect this brief and painful brush with reality will only make them even more mental and we'll probably get another swordbearing dipshit off the back of it.

Uh, but if you add up all the people who voted for someone else, it's over 50%! And don't forget about ~the silent majority~ who didn't vote at all. 35% of 40%? All in all, an abysmal performance from Khan.

Yeah but don't forget all the postal votes for Khan that will have mysteriously appeared overnight all 75000 of them.. (cries in gammon) I don't think any Muslims have that many wives to fake the votes of.

Eh, they were never going to win in London anyway and they knew it. Might as well run a campaign playing to your base to shore up support in the general when you're in a losing battle.

Susan goes out bitter, bullshitting (there've been ~900 total recorded murders in London since 2016), and for some reason outing herself as not having watched The Wire.quote:Susan Hall said Sadiq Khan should stop “patronising” people who care about London.

I dunno, Boris got elected. If the Tories ran a more sensible campaign where they talked positively about London and what they wanted to do for it, I don't see any inherent reason why they couldn't win again. At the moment though, their strategy (such as it is) appears to centre around appealing to Reform and their voters, which requires endless huffing about Muslim no-go zones, the War on Motorists, transgender indoctrination in nursery schools, etc etc etc. I'd love to know what persuaded Sunak to go down this route rather than running on a competent, moderate, only-a-little-bit-Tory platform which I think would have been much more successful for them.

The entire point of Boris's government was "we will actually spend money doing things, but also be Toryish on immigrats and the EU" turns out the rest of the Tory party forgot why Boris has charisma - he appeared like he would do things.

For some reason Sutton is just packed to the rafters with gammons. I do think Sutton needs better public transport links though. It's horseshit that we're the only one of five London boroughs that doesn't have a tube station, and seemingly cannot get the tram extended here despite many, many years of promises.

Necrothatcher posted:Their insane membership and scumbag MPs make being a moderate Tory leader now effectively impossible. It'll be interesting to see how the next leader after Sunak approaches this. The Tories get enough big-ticket donations that the membership are essentially pointless if the party decides to sideline them. If, say, Mordaunt decided to go all-in on sucking up to business and bringing the party back towards the centre, it would cut off a fair amount of Labour's income (since Labour've already decided the membership are expendable and are increasingly reliant on rich donors). They could then go for a more centralised approach to picking candidates and present a more appealing picture to the electorate. Or, if a headbanger like Badenoch wins the leadership, it'll be a headlong rush into picking the biggest bunch of racists, misogynists and gaslighters they can find.

I uh, may have spent an absurd amount of money on a new chair for myself as my first "earning a stable wage and selling my car" present. Mostly because my current pile of blankets and disintegrating leather smells and I can't really fix that. I guess also it does cut off circulation in parts of my body and that probably isn't great.

Looks like Labour have won the West Midlands mayoral contest, which was the only other "maybe it's not so bad?" hope the tories had (because the incumbent ignored the national party).

I've heard it gets pricey the further north+west you are. I had a nice humanscale chair off them a month or so ago after my cats destroyed the last chair I had.
