Interesting that Labour (official opposition) failed to win this seat/district.

I'd say it's a concern for them...

They’re blaming the Mayor of London Khan and the expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Scheme.

interesting.

Me too, I would have to look up the name of who is at 10 Downing Street. I at least remember the address.

The names may change.

They’re all Deep State.

And no general lectionary any time soon.

Really convenient that recently passed law, eh?

From 2022. Love that spin.

The US isn’t the only country controlled by its Deep State.

Yes. 500 votes?

They’re putting it down to the unpopularity of Khan and his restrictions on cars around London (stupid Emissions scheme)

And some good old fashioned door knocking

Also looks they picked a good/formidable candidate who is known locally.

But really you would expect the govt’ in midterm to lose this kind of election.

🤔

The “deep state” is not loyal Americans. Many are not even Americans.

What we have in the U.S. are traitors willing to sell out America for the idea of a one world government.. some are probably willing to sell out America for money ..cable news jockeys comes to mind.

Did they have any 4 am ballot drops with 110% of the votes going for the Labour Party? If not, it isn’t a fair and honest election!! 🤓

So true. They have elections like Groundhog Day movie. Everyday it seems like for a new prime minister.

Maybe they toss us a small victory every now and then

As I understand it there is universal Voter ID and of course no machines

Nothing “conservative” about them. And Boris should be hanging from a lamppost by his broken neck for the Covid lockdowns.

Another squeaker election.

In the US, Brazil, the UK, France...

Have you ever seem so many incredibly narrow margins of victory...?

You know what else they have in common...

The same type of voting machines.
