I've voting Sadiq for my second vote. Have yet to decide my first (which has, for me, always gone to a minor party) but it will probably be the Lib Dem. The rest from the minors seem like the usual bunch of nutters.


Six months ago, Goldsmith had a slight edge for me, but he's really done nothing to impress me since then.

This time last year I said Khan was "an embarrassment of vacuous sloganing and fake sincerity that was truly sickening" and haven't changed my mind; Posho is so dim and so obviously being worked by others you can see the strings, I shall probs vote Sian Berry and the mad Polish Prince as a back-up (anyone who challenges Farage to a duel can't be all mbad).

Well you could consider our local candidate - Caroline Pidgeon. She lives in ED and was a Southwark councillor before she became a GLA member, which she's been for 8 years now.

Unlike Khan and Goldsmith, who've just been parachuted in to stand by the big parties, she knows what the GLA is about - and Southwark too, obv - and knows exactly how the system works.

Her manifesto is here (scroll down the page once you get there)

Polish Prince gets my vote


If Caroline Pidgeon actually wears a 'Pidgeon' costume, I'll vote for her


Mind you Sian could out-do her and turn up as a 'berry' of some kind, probably a strawberry, then I'd say say 'The Pidge' is in trouble



Bloody hell, now I'm way more interested in the whole thing

...and she's a LibDem. By her own admission she's a LibDem. I like a laugh in local politics but really.


Snappy ad at the bottom of your link -


"Now available to pre-order: Nick Clegg's Politics - The Art of the Possible in an Age of Unreason..."


Don't all rush at once... bless.

So you didn't see the photo of Zac with the same extremist Cameron told us Sadiq was pals with yesterday? You see, community leaders (who may or may not be part of extreme versions of a religion) tend to be very good at getting the ear of people in public office, which is why both Sadiq (in his job as a civil rights lawyer) and Zac (in his role as a politician) have both crossed paths with people we now know to have extreme views. Not a story for me but we all know what side of the political fence you stand on Uncle. I have news for you though. Khan is 10 points ahead, helped massively by the Tory claims of 'terrorist sympathiser', because most people see through that for the nonsense it actually is.
Yeah, I'm not that impressed by Sadiq Khan, but Goldsmith's tactics have made pretty sure I'll vote for him. I think the attempts to imply that Sadiq Khan (who has campaigned against extremism, defied death threats to vote for same-sex marriage and stated publicly that he considers himself a feminist) is somehow allied with radical islamists is patently absurd and horribly cynical.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
