Sadiq Khan becomes first politician to win third term as Mayor of London

Sadiq Khan today became the first politician to be elected Mayor of London for a third term. He trounced his Tory counterpart, receiving more than one million votes, compared to rival Susan Hall's 811,000.

The Mirror reports the Conservatives have faced criticism over the decision to put up Ms Hall as their candidate. The former Harrow Council leader supported Donald Trump and expressed "deep joy" at Liz Truss’ mini-Budget. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

For the first time, it was decided by First Past The Post in the same way as parliamentary elections. Previously voters got to cast a first and second preference vote. Sir Keir Starmer's party also gained nine police and crime commissioner posts from the Tories, including in Cumbria, Avon and Somerset, and Norfolk.
