Two Tories beat the two Labour candidates by a total of around 300 votes, getting around 1050 votes between them. Now they've found 864 uncounted postal votes. If the votes can't now be counted, the Tories should honourably resign to trigger a new vote.

I see a lot of the thick racist gammons blaming Khan and the Met for not stopping a protest on Tower Bridge. I guess they are ignorant of the fact that it's City of London police territory, not the Met's, and that the relevant Mayor is the Lord Mayor of London, not Khan. 🤦.
