Bookie pays out on Boris win
Tory hopes of crowning triumph in the local elections are rising after one bookmaker said it is paying out on a Boris Johnson win for London mayor.
Paddy Power said the "mauling" Labour has received suggests the Tory is on his way to City Hall.
By 3pm, information on first-preference votes showed Mr Johnson ahead in nine out of 14 constituencies, with Mr Livingstone leading in five.
