About what he believes the result represents. Today, the people in our area have not only spoken, theyve hollered at the top of their voices with two simple and clear messages. To the government, enough is enough. And locally, labour is delivering in power. Up and down this country, ordinary people are fed up with the chaos, mismanagement and decline the tories have presided over. Despite this, though, were getting on with the job locally. This result isntjust a rejection of the tories. Voters in our city region arent easily kidded. Its a Ringing Endorsement of what were doing locally too. Steve rotherham, there are. Lets speak to henry hill. Hes the Acting Editor of Conservative Home.

The way that conservatives have operated, which is the politics of hate and hostility and division. We have seen that here in london in susan halls campaign, where she has joined facebook groups that incite against the labour candidate sadik khan, that is the politics of hate that this party, a Mainstream Party of government has allowed to happen, allowed to divide people in our country. That is not the politics that we want or need in our country. We need a country that has brought together, a hopeful country, where people are brought together and we work together, and that is the kind of leadership keir starmer and the labour party will practice, and we will work hard to bring people together, so that we can serve the british public s interest, not this narrow interest that the conservatives, the Self Serving Interests of the conservatives have shown in recent years. They have broken this country, our Public Services are broken, our nhs is broken, ourtransport services are broken, ou

Yes, The Big Story so far this afternoon is from are we now . Yes, The Big Story so far this afternoon is from the far this afternoon is from the capital, london, where sadiq khan is in a really good place. Let me show you the latest up to date numbers, which show that the incumbent is on 560,000 votes, just about. Susan hall, the conservative, is on 386,000, thats about half the constituencies having counted. That is a big lead. I should say that the areas weve had in, some of them are very proud labour. But the thing that really matters here, that makes us think it is a slam dunk for sadiq khan is this. The swing that we are seeing across london from the conservatives to labour. Its been slightly different in different parts of the city, but overall, the average at the moment, 3. 7 swing from conservative to labour.
Which is pretty spice y. By all accounts. Good evening. In his first speech to the Party Conference as tory leader, rishi sunak said he is only too happy divide opinion and seemingly his own party if thats what it takes to put britain on a long term path to success. But his first big change is to scrap the northern leg of h52, the High Speed Railway that was supposed to link london with manchester a decision his predecessor David Cameron said the country would come to regret for years to come. Perhaps after promising the north a programme for levelling up, it is a gamble the conservatives may come to regret much sooner. Mr suank has also promised a new qualification for further education. That Willl A Levels and the more vocational t levels will be combined that will combine a levels and the more vocational t levels into one single qualification, which in future will be known as the advanced british standard. And to enhance the future, health, of the nation, he is proposing a progressi
