Socialism spreads across London while the spectre of far right Nationalism infests the Parochials. I'd like to understand the reasons behind why Labour have cut through down here in London but looked to have struggled badly to progress in the rest of England. It'll be interesting to see if they make any impact on the SNP up north. Have they started weighing the votes yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of “long-Corbyn” and a predictable reluctance among the cultists to hold the lying POS to account has helped limit the damage. This Junta will be relatively satisfied by these results, until that is, the Met restart their fine frenzy coupled with the publication of the Sue Gray report. Yet again, we, “move on”, but for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Liberals will do very well in Edinburgh and perhaps make it into a partnership with the SNP, or even Labour if they can take some of the SNP seats.

May do, heard a few people in the past saying they went to the polling station and moaning some of the parties couldn't even be bothered to show up, possibly more so with the undecided and switherers, all it takes is for one wee guy with a rosette to be nice to an old biddy to tip those scales .....

Ray Gin Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-scotland-61310357 In Scotland, the first preference vote has now been declared for 15% of the wards in Scotland. It looks as though the Conservatives are going to suffer perhaps an even bigger reverse north of the border than they have experienced in England. Their share of the vote is currently down by six points, while Labour are up by two points. If this pattern continues then Labour will displace the Conservatives from second place for the first time in a Scottish election since 2016. Among the pro-independence parties, the SNP are up by 1.5 points and the Greens are up by 2.5 points. However it should be kept in mind that the SNP did not do particularly well in the 2017 local elections and the party seems to be suffering where the Greens are making a significant advance. As south of the border, the Liberal Democrats are performing somewhat better than anticipated, with a two point increase in their share of the vote so far.

Don Dan Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Not good but people need cheaper foods and groceries Convenience store chain McColl's has fallen into administration, putting more than 16,000 jobs at risk McColl's, the convenience retailer, has appointed administrators but the co-owners of Asda are expected to agree a deal that would rescue the bulk of the company. Sky's City editor Mark Kleinman, who had reported earlier on Friday that Morrisons was among interested parties, said the Issa brothers' EG Group was now waiting in the wings and a deal could be concluded later in the day. McColl's said it took the decision to appoint PwC as administrator after its lenders objected to the potential outcome of a sale for them.
