Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters pack out London Liverpool Street station
More than 500 people joined the protest at around 5.30pm on Tuesday to demand an immediate ceasefire to Israel's attacks on Gaza and an end to arms exports to Israel

Hackney related , most folk in Hackney will be very familiar with Liverpool St Station, I wasn't there last night but do use it several times a week & it can't have escaped the attention of the organisers that it is a direct link to Stamford Hill.

There was quite a decent sized Palestine solidarity demo at Dalston Junction today as I was passing through.
got the council election brochure. noticed that of the 6 candidates, only the Tory had chosen to not bother giving a page to be included. given up already?
I did chuckle at the council's FAQ. "is sending this brochure to everybody a waste of money? we are legally required to."

I too live on a main road and hope this guy loses his deposit for this nonsense.Well this is exciting! First (only?) mayoral election leaflet arrived today. I think I've been doing this 'living on a main road' thing wrong though as I'm all for the LTN zones.

Just had a car plastered with Tory posters go past my gaff. With a PA system for announcement in Yiddish... it looked like there were photos of the candidate on the posters, but I am a few floors up.Got my polling card , plus a leaflet about the candidates , the Tory candidate didn't have any information about him
Also a door knock from someone who was probably Labour (the better half spoke to him briefly and did not identify any distinguishing political features).

It's a pretty low-key election - I went to vote this morning (at Southwold School) and I was the only voter (at about 8am) , I haven't seen any posters, or campaigners, no door knocking, and no tory postered cars (I'm guessing they are just driving around Stamford Hill).
Also, 1st time I've had to show picture ID to vote

Glanville got 36k votes in 2022 so the Labour vote has basically halved. Garbett got 10k votes then.

i think the tory did better than they might have expected if they'd submitted a manifesto

Do you (or anyone) know what the turnout was in 2022.
20% seems pretty low, but I don't have anything to compare it to.

It's all here Mayoral election results | Hackney Council
35% seems normal. But maybe some of the previous ones were also councillor elections.

every previous mayoral election coincided with the whole council election, with one exception of a by-election in 2016 after Jules Pipe resigned to take his role at city hall.
turnout for that one was 18.6%
yesterday's similarly low turnout is entirely unremarkable and what anyone could have expected.
IIRC Woodley's term will be kept short so the next mayoral election is back in sync with the council elections due in 2026.

It's not "being kept short". They're elected for the remainder of Glanville's term. Why would it be any other way?
