Former London mayor Boris Johnson allegedly had to delete a tweet claiming he “just voted Conservatives in the local elections” after realising no elections were being held in the capital yesterday.

James Felton posted out the deleted message which had appeared on Politwoops– a website which stores all deleted tweets from politicians.

The message, which apparently stayed up for just 30 seconds before being deleted, said: “I just voted Conservative in the local elections. Make sure you do too! You’ve got two hours left to get out and vote!”

According to the site Boris erased it just two hours before voting ended at 10pm on Thursday.

Boris Johnson (former mayor and current resident of London) tweeted that he just voted in the local elections.

One Conservative MP broke down in tears following heavy losses in Essex.

MP MP Vicky Ford said: “I think it is really disappointing when you look at some of the individuals who have lost their seats tonight.

“People who have worked their socks off for Chelmsford.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
