I’m voting Green tomorrow in return for a Labour vote in The Wrekin.

@Trips don’t let us down…

I fall under Telford, not The Wrekin. Labour got Telford pretty wrapped up I think, The Wrekin looks tight but hopefully Labour get over the line there too

 

[sycophantia]

I'm Wrekin and will be voting for the Labour guy but its more in hope than expectation, not seen any poll results though

 

[Boozad]

I’ll be voting Labour of course but Brackenridge is a shoe in here anyway.

️ Done. Glorious day for it.

 

[Tony Towner]

A bit like the Bob Geldof one. I don't agree with his politics, but I like going for a beer with him, so give him your vote...twat

Voted. Here's hoping for a glorious evening later...

Cast my vote bright and early this morning.

Fuck the Tories.

Feels odd having voted a few weeks ago.

Anyway....Fuck the Tories

Same, first time I've ever done a postal vote.

Weird thing when we voted earlier - my wife hardly ever votes (annoys me - today is the first time I've ever seen her vote) and when she produced her passport (in her maiden name) for her photo ID, they said it didn't match the name on the register. Despite the name on her polling card also being her maiden name!

So somehow, her married name is on the electoral register, but the polling card they sent was in her maiden name.

Fortunately, her driving license is in her married name so she was able to vote but FFS, voter ID is such a crock of shit - this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening.

Quite looking forward to setting an early alarm. The polls close at 7am my time so I shall enjoy the carnage over a leisurely breakfast.

Fuck the Tories.

Voter suppression is a vile tactic whoever trys it, by whatever method. Should be made illegal. I'm all for making the vote mandatory (spoil your ballot for I care, that equally sends a message).

Apologies to those who don't like him, but the last couple of minutes of this, sum up my feelings

Rishi is a silhouette running away and Truss is a lettuce (and there's a bag of Humbugs)

Well my postal vote stuff hasn't come through in time (even though I applied weeks ago), so I'm gonna try and dig out my old ID Card which is in a drawer somewhere. I don't have any other photo ID. Either that or Green doesn't get my vote this time out.

You can’t just turn up you won’t be on the register. You have to contact the council for an emergency ballot.

I've already registered.
