Khan is officially declared. Looking really tight in West Midlands. I know people who have been working on the mayoral campaign there, and the Toryâs have requested bundle checks. You donât do that if you are winning.
I expect the BBC to lead on the Teeside result.

Sky news saying Labour have won the West Midlands Mayoral election - if true massive blow for conservatives as Andy Street was fairly popular and respected.
Houchen won his election but there is always a whiff of scandal in the air over the way deals have been brokered in regards to the new trade zones they have in the North EastâŚ
So, the wrong Tory lost?
John Curticeâs hair on BBC News right now is deadset gold.
He looks like Doc Brown.
Looks like itâs official now.
Labour win West Midlands.

Tweeting absolute horseshit with no basis whatsoever, basically parroting Tory fantasies.
Maybe sheâs psychic and did know something 12 hours before they even started counting the votes?
Fucking outrageous for someone in her position, but unfortunately par for the course.

Actually, that sentiment was also in the Grauniad, based on the turnout dropping in Inner and Central London, while staying the same in Outer London, compared to 2021.
What youâ ve described is reasonable political speculation.
What LK wrote is Tory spin.
