The Evening Standard reports:
Andrew Dismore is considering lodging an official petition after losing his Hendon seat by just 106 votes to Tory Matthew Offord.
He claims hundreds of would-be voters were prevented from casting their ballot because of failures by Barnet council to organise the election properly.
Mr Dismore, who has held the seat since 1997, claimed procedural and administrative errors by the council included: people queuing at 9pm being told to leave as they would not get in to vote in time; postal votes arriving late or not being sent, and wrong directions to polling stations being given.

Well, good luck to him.
What’s happened to the Electoral Society’s inquiry?
He won’t want to come across as a bad loser – remember Winchester 1997!
Oh dear. Andrew Dismal clearly wants to lose his seat by 100x the majority he did on May 6th.
Is this what you get with an EasyJet council?
