Adam Boulton: "It's more like David Brent than anything in Brent and Harrow."

Just remembered why I hate Sky News.

The bad thing for the government is that the narrative's alright set and London won't change it now. In the end, if Thursday had been a General Election, Ed Miliband would already be Prime Minister. I wonder who would've put money on results like these, just two years after the party's second worst result since the war...

Press Association: Sources say Boris has been re-elected. Shock, horror.

Boris did not just do the May the 4th result. Christ.

Ken giving a sombre, yet nice speech.

Still, I would've voted for Benita.

So can anyone explain why Boris won while Labour took over the assembly. Livingstones appeal to Muslims?

Because the mayoral election's a personality contest and the majority of Londoners prefer Boris. And Ken was a crap candidate. Labour did well in the assembly totally in spite of Ken.

if it is a multibillionaire entrepreneur then you should seriously consider stop calling yourselves the Labour Party.

To be fair to him, you could argue he's a case of "social mobility" or something.

Labour needs people like Sugar (who is a former Tory donor) to be in the party for them to be credible, representative and prove that the party isn't just about aiding the least successful.

I agree with this as well
