Jennings also highlights that this was Labour's best electoral performance for some time, even compared to the 2013 peak. However, Jennings notes that our Parliamentary geography has changed since 1990s, so harder for Labour to get a majority in Westminster now #LocalElections Image

Waking up to news that the Tories are taking something of a battering in London.

But if Labour takes control of true blue Westminster, Tory since the borough was created in 1964, that’s really a result to cause a stir.
This is into swing territory here in Westminster. Hyde Park ward is historically truly blue. #LocalElection2022

It's #LocalElections day.

With this election day being dubbed judgement day for Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer, Metro looks at the 7 key battlegrounds.

Let's see where their fates lie 👇

🔴 WANDSWORTH

Famously Margaret Thatcher’s ‘favourite’ local authority, Wandsworth has been in blue since 1978.

But the Tories are in for a fight to stop Labour as activists launched a massive doorstep campaign to win the council in the hope of delivering a crushing blow.
🔴HARTLEPOOL

Labour suffered a huge blow to the Tories in the Hartlepool by-election last year.

However, at the time, the PM was performing well in the polls following a successful vaccine programme.

Boris Johnson uses the phrase "Liberal Left Lawyers" in response to a question about the Govt's #Rwanda Plan, in the full knowledge that Priti Patel's use of the phrase "Activist Lawyers" was linked by counter-terrorism police to a far right terror attack.
This is dangerously irresponsible rhetoric & Boris Johnson knows it - but he doesn't care.

He is without doubt totally unfit for public office, as so many people who have worked with him warned voters he would be.

It is 1.5 months till Estonian #LocalElections. Registration of candidates must be completed tomorrow (7th Sept). After that, there will be several days for corrections and withdrawals. Next week we will find out what the final electoral lists and candidate numbers are. #Eesti
Voter lists will be locked in on 17th of September. Voter registration is automatic in #Estonia and it means that anybody who is 16 y/o on election day and whose official address is registered in a given municipality on 17th of September, will be able to vote there.
As electoral system is proportionate with 5% threshold, it can be said that everybody's vote counts equally. Or can it?

@SpelthorneBC how long does it usually take for your monitoring officer to reply to a residents formal complaint when it has already been upheld that a #conservative #Councillor - namely Cllr Michelle Gibson - DID breach #GDPR when she gave my address to her other half please?
@shamusdoherty @cazbie16 @Sammy_18_ @Lisa_SEND @TheRealGrumpDad @CharlieL28 @SENWorldcom @L4ASurrey STILL rumbling on🤔 @ICOnews as the holder of my own data can i freely share my communications? The DPO at #Spelthorne council upheld my GDPR complaint about Cllr Gibson! #GDPR
I have of course raised this as a formal complaint no #Councillor should feel free to misuse their power to use residents personal data to allow someone to try to intimidate them! It’s absolutely disgraceful!! #ConservativeGovernment #LocalElections2021 #LocalElections #politics
