London mayor election: Sadiq Khan clinches historic third term

Labour's Sadiq Khan has won a landmark third successive term as mayor of London.

Mr Khan, who was first elected in May 2016, beat his Conservative rival Susan Hall by more than 276,000 votes - representing a swing of 3.2% to Labour.

He won nine of the 14 constituencies including two gains from the Tories.

More than 2.4m votes were cast reflecting a turnout of 42.8% - ever so slightly down compared to the 2021 mayoral election.

Let's go now to Mayor Khan's cousin for a reaction.

Go ahead, Chaka, you're on the air!

I mean its hardly a surprise. the Tories are fucked from city to rural shire across the country, and no one thought the Greens or Lib Dems ever stood a chance.
