strictly off the record
He got 554 votes! (he's straight off the Tory 'floppy-haired public schoolboy' production line isn't he?)

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
How about recounting to check for spoilts on their ballot papers, then in a sort of political Duckworth-Lewis eliminate the one with the greater volume of abuse/cock & balls?

I think Telegraph readers couldn't really care one way or another about NI. Of course they love the idea of England being at the heart of a United Kingdom and would prefer that it doesn't shrink.
But actually caring about NI politics? Not really. Having the unionist votes to pass all the brexit votes in the Commons was useful, but now that's all done, tories here don't give a toss about the DUP.
To them NI is both small and far away

They stick them in no-hoper seats for a couple of cycles to get used to the process then offer them somewhere safe once they reach a certain maturity.

Actually a lot tighter than I expected it to be, given the total fuckfest that led to the position.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
You don't have to imagine it. GM Fraser wrote a scene where Flashman gets into a dual and bribes the soldier loading the pistols not to put a ball in his opponent's gun. It's patently obvious that's what the BJ the clown would do.

By the by...
Candidate for Alex Salmond's Alba accused of spreading 'pro-Russian propaganda'
After the Record approached Alba, the party said Andrew Coventry had removed the tweets.
It's always a great shock to see a party lead by someone in the pay of the Russian state calling the Ukrainians Nazis.

Aspire (Lutfur Rahmans party) really giving Labour a kicking in Tower Hamlets. Lost all 3 of our local councillors.

Bloody hell if the results continue, neck and neck currently, that lone Tory could be the most powerful person in the council!

Gwlad won a seat? That's fucking miserable. Orban fans who enjoy telling black and brown people they don't have the right blood to be Welsh. Absolute cunts.

I can't believe they've taken so long to declare, it's bonkers.
Mind you, there's still one more council left to declare in England.

I wonder does it have to do with previous shenanigans? Meaning they have to be more diligent in checking stuff.
What is?

As part of the response to past 'controversies' the count here was split in two - Mayoral count yesterday, Council count today.I can't believe they've taken so long to declare, it's bonkers.

As far as I'm concerned they're all counts. However while I don't support any of the fuckers the one's I don't support the most are fucking Tower Hamlets Labour so there is a grim smile playing across my face at the moment. I've accumulated multiple reasons for that over the years but to take the most recent rage flash point, the fire and rehire of staff they engaged in in 2020.
