Jumped on to YouTube this morning to catch the SNL weekend update.

An add came on, for a website called the cost of Corbyn, basically flames and big letters saying Corbyn was going to cost YOU £2400 a year.

What the fuck is this shit?

There are tons of fake websites and "data" etc set up by the Tories. I think it will work, mores the pity... ☹️

The advert at the top of my YouTube has been a Conservative attack ad for the last week. Can't even say I'm not interested in seeing it.

You inspired me to check (which shows you how much attention I generally pay the top bar).

Yup - "End the uncertainty, vote Conservative" is up there.

I still don't know who I am voting for tomorrow. It's annoying me. I know who I want to vote for but I can't decide if I should vote tactically. The tactical voting websites have no suggestion for this constituency as we aren't marginal enough. A few weeks back they were all recommending Lib Dem, 2 days ago half were Lib Dem and half were Labour. It is considered a safe Tory seat but our MP keeps voting for Brexit despite it being a strongly Remain area so I do think there could be an upset if the polls are all wrong again. He got a terrible reception at the local hustings.

I might have to do Ip Dip in the booth tomorrow.

It's so hard to know when you're in a safe seat.

I mean, there's always Abyss, as he says :p

I'm in a marginal one with a slight Tory hold last time for Andrea Jenkyns. She's had a lot of bad press in the latter half of the year so I'm hoping that might help a swing to Labour.

The Black Pharaoh party compels... no, mandates that you vote for the most qualified candidate.

Our seat is a Labour safe bet (usually) but I am quite concerned at the number of folk saying they're swinging to Brexit Party because 'they are the most trustworthy'. It's like they've never heard of Grandfather Nigel. Nurgle? The line is blurred.

Definitely voting Labour today because it's a fairly safe Labour seat usually and I actually think Labour are the best bet.

I would vote LD in a second if I was in a LD/Tory marginal. Not the biggest fan of them but to get the Tories out? No problem.

Flying to the Netherlands tonight so I won't be around when the riots hit. Hopefully they will let me back in my own house when I return on Monday.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Same. LD are a distant third in my constituency though.

I've just voted for Labour as it's the only viable opposition in my area. Even then they haven't got a chance, Tories had double the votes last election.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
