Khan heckled by losing candidate as he's officially declared winner in London; West Midlands too close to call
Sky News ^ | May 4 | Sky News

Sadiq Khan has been officially declared winner of the London mayoral election.

As he took to the stage to speak, Mr Khan was heckled with boos and a shout of "Khan killed London".

The heckle came from the Britain First candidate, who then proceeded to walk off the stage where the mayoral candidates were assembled.

Mr Khan won his historic third term with 43.8% of the vote.

Labour sources have suggested a recount in Coventry isn't going to "change materially" Tory incumbent Andy Street's numbers in the West Midlands mayoral race, Sky News political editor Beth Rigby says.

A full recount has been ordered in the Coventry borough, with the race currently "too close to call".

Beth, who is in Birmingham, says that while the result is on a "knife edge," there is hope in the Labour camp that Richard Parker could have edged the race.

She says there will be a "massive upset" if Mr Street loses the mayoralty, with one former cabinet minister telling her it would be "devastating".

Beth adds that there is chatter within the Conservative Party that if Mr Street does lose, he may be offered a parliamentary constituency, however, that remains "speculative".

A short time ago, Labour sources told Sky News a recount was requested by Mr Street's team.

The Coventry recount is expected to take a couple of hours.

Don’t feel too smug, America, like it’s just their problem and they “brought it on themselves” and “have only themselves to blame.”

We’re next.

The UK has been successfully conquered by an invading force. It’s like 1066 all over again.

The last civilized city on earth to need a moslem mayor is London. But they have one!

Khan didn’t kill London. He just converted it into an Islamic hellhole—I mean, city.

There really isn’t any point in defending “England” anymore.

It’s gone.

I have no idea why people in my family had to die 80 years ago for these morons.

The biggest problem Britain will have is the Hindus and Muslims fighting each other. Then they’ll have to split like India and Pakistan did.

The English are a minority in London. Good luck ever having a non-Muslim in power again. Once they gain power, there’s only one way to get it back. Same thing with socialists.

"Once they gain power, there's only one way to get it back."

Crusades.?? I often wondered if the passage where God puts Satan back into the bottomless pit refers to Islam and Africa... (?)

“There really isn’t any point in defending “England” anymore.”

Don’t conflate big cities with rural populations or the national identity. People do enough of that here.
