Is this huge success for Boris in England a pat on the back that he and his team have handled the Pandemic well?

Sturgeon: 'A quite extraordinary achievement for the SNP'
Nicola Sturgeon says she said all along that a majority for the SNP was a long shot.

However she adds: "I am thrilled with our result."

The SNP leader says her party has won the highest share and highest number of votes of any party in the history of devolution.

"By any standards this is a historic achievement, a quite extraordinary achievement for the SNP," she adds.

Khan still won with a higher percentage than Johnson won both his terms of Mayor with.

Just to balance the anti Labour points.

A candidate running to be Wiltshire's next Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has been disbarred after a historical driving offence emerged.

Jonathon Seed was the Conservative Party's candidate to replace fellow Tory Angus Macpherson.

A party spokesperson confirmed Mr Seed had been disbarred, while Mr Seed told the BBC he had withdrawn himself.

Vote counting for the PCC post is due to start in Salisbury at 10:00 GMT on Monday and is set to go ahead.

If Mr Seed wins the vote, another election will need to be held.

He said he had been advised by his party that a 30-year-old drink driving offence would not affect his candidacy and that he believed he was eligible.

Mr Seed said he was "bitterly disappointed" that he will now no longer be able to take up the post if he wins the vote and wished Mr Macpherson's eventual replacement "every success in the role".

"I will continue with my work as a local councillor and within the local community, to which I have dedicated my life for the past 20 years," he said.

He was the incumbent.

This wasn't in any way a surprise to me from those I've contacted in the area.
