Dan Norris has won #WestOfEnglandMayor for #Labour making it one of the few LAB gains in #LocalElections2021.

When analysing elections using Supplementary Vote, it's more correct to look at number of votes rather than vote shares.
That's because there are a number of steps to the final vote totals & errors can multiply along the way.
So the 1st reason for the 40k difference is ...

There's 48 seats in 24 wards up for grabs
The council usually only elects half of its seats at any one time
But a boundary change (see pic) means all seats are up for election

.@UKLabour members, @BorisJohnson appeal is he gets up everyone's nose; they are voting for him because he is sold by CCHQ as sticking two fingers up to parliament. They cannot comprehend the figures involved in #TorySleaze; they do not want to think when a slogan...
tells them what they want to hear. @Keir_Starmer needs young, hungry blood in his office that has never been to uni, people that can pump out propaganda. Lies are part of politics; I personally despise this, but this is now just the reality you face...
Stop turning up to a knife fight with a banana. #LocalElections2021
Before the spin starts here is the truth regarding #LocalElections2021.
@UKLabour will have a disappointing night but in the area’s they lose to Cons the numbers matter. Close numbers mean people are being to consider Labour again after a decimation...

.@Conservatives were always going to win the #HartlepoolByElection. The most extensive leaving seat in the UK voting for the Vote leave Govt is no surprise & for journalists to spin it is a reflection on their intention, Cons will lose in Wales & Scotland fact...
Every seat Cons win with lies is another step towards the break up of the UK; the Cons have run up 2.5 trillion of debt we have just had two years of 0 growth far from levelling austerity will be needed even if CCHQ spin says different...
The church warden has overslept apparently so just cast my vote in a car. #LocalElections2021
Have just had a lovely chat and giggle in the evening sun with the team at the Polling Station. And delivered a bottle of wine and a card to the Warden, along with an apology for all the attention today! Happy to report that no offence has been caused & smiles all round.
@SpelthorneBC how long does it usually take for your monitoring officer to reply to a residents formal complaint when it has already been upheld that a #conservative #Councillor - namely Cllr Michelle Gibson - DID breach #GDPR when she gave my address to her other half please?
@shamusdoherty @cazbie16 @Sammy_18_ @Lisa_SEND @TheRealGrumpDad @CharlieL28 @SENWorldcom @L4ASurrey STILL rumbling on🤔 @ICOnews as the holder of my own data can i freely share my communications? The DPO at #Spelthorne council upheld my GDPR complaint about Cllr Gibson! #GDPR
I have of course raised this as a formal complaint no #Councillor should feel free to misuse their power to use residents personal data to allow someone to try to intimidate them! It’s absolutely disgraceful!! #ConservativeGovernment #LocalElections2021 #LocalElections #politics
