Sadiq Khan joined in trolling Laurence Fox and it won everyone’s vote

As you’ll probably have seen by now, Laurence Fox didn’t do entirely well in the London mayoral elections.

The resting actor – or Waitrose Tommy Robinson, if you prefer – got 47,634 votes, a 1.9% share, so he won’t be seeing his £10,000 deposit again.

It prompted lots of people to share things which did better than Fox’s mayoral campaign.

There are more Pret A Mangers in London than people who voted for Laurence Fox.

Second fact of the day:
More people were suspected of being ‘H’ than voted for Laurence Fox.#Lineofduty

But the best one was probably this, for reasons we presumably won’t need to go into.

Billie Piper sold more copies of Because We Want To in its opening week than Laurence Fox got votes for London Mayor

And it got even better when London mayor (for the second time) Sadiq Khan did this.

It is a great tune tbh.

The perfect post-script to Fox’s so-called campaign.
