Here’s a totally accurate and sure to predict the result of the election Pipe: Counts the number of Twitts mentioning ‘Boris’ and ‘Vote’ vs the number mentioning ‘Ken’ and ‘vote’

Currently running 35 to Ken, 28 to Boris.

There may possibly be a teeny tiny margin for error. I noticed one lady saying “Do not vote for Boris” which will unfortunately be recorded as a vote for, er, Boris.

Good stuff Paul.

It is good to see the digital newsroom being used to increase the awareness of local politics
