Election day in Deptford

I and comrades have been campaigning to return Labour candidates in Lewisham and in London for European Parliament, here is our story. (I live in New Cross Ward, and have just moved there from Brockley; I worked with the campaign in these two wards).

  25. 53 votes is sort order stuff. Perhaps he should change his name to Jon Aardvark.+
  31. And Brockley is declared, as Jonniilink says above, 53 votes in it. Sad for Jon, he'd have been a brilliant councillor and advocate for Brockley.

  33. 53 Votes is sort order stuff.

  41. Joe Dromey calls it first.

  43. Barnet was to stay Tory, Tower Hamlets reelected Lutfur Rahman as Mayor and Tower Hamlets First are currently the single largest party although there is one ward still to vote, with three councilors, currently held by the Tories http://is.gd/CBTSPG.

  45. So the Lib Dems (Brooks) only just beat the Greens (Keogh).
    +
  47. On hearing the mayoral results, Duwayne Brooks announces his decision to leave the Liberal Democrats.
    +
  50. A+
  52. And the Lewisham Mayor results are out, 1st round victory for Labour, the first time thats been done.
    +
  54. And elsewhere,
    +
  58. Doesn't auger well for Simon Hughes
    +
  62. The VICE collects the stories about New Cross, People before Profit's candidate and major donor Ray Woolford and he reacts badly. If the police came and told the campaigners they were indulging in a criminal act, I think this should be investigated. There's been too much police over reaction to rights to free speech and the right to organise. See http://is.gd/6A46dZ

    Today, we get to take our pick from the weird human zoo that is Britain's pool of local politicians. In the run-up to the local elections, the press have been keen to dig up some dirt on candidates - and it hasn't proved very hard. Think about how socially inept politicians are.

    There are three elections, local council, Lewisham Mayor and the European Parliament. Lewisham has an executive Mayoral system. Steve Bullock is standing for re-election and the Labour Manifesto is hosted here...
