Still not got my postal vote

Your only option now is to apply for an emergency proxy vote, I think

Still not got my postal vote

Out of interest, how does your constituency work, I assume it must be based on your last UK address?

(obviously I realise the answer is "it doesn't fucking work at all if the postal vote doesn't get delivered")

Lots of postal vote issues in Scotland as well, I suspect they may have to increase the timelines for the next election to reflect postal services largely being shite these days.

Mex is not human so his last known address was Aldebaran, his vote was posted there by a Musk Starship

Polls were pretty accurate it seems. 10 for the SNP and a few more Tories than you might imagine suggests that they could actually gain in Scotland whilst collapsing everywhere else, which would be odd.

On these numbers we're not going to see Sunak go, but Rees Mogg and Hunt are probably toast.

Last address in UK, Shoreham and Adur

Have to say Heidi Alexander gave a great speech. Maybe pushing for a cabinet seat?
It was a refreshingly normal speech and humbling; something we seem to have lost in modern politics.

The departing Buckland, despite what some may think was humble in his defeat speech and quite honest in his interview with the beeb after; describing his own party as '...old men fighting over a comb.'

For all the Labour voters...

Just hope "your people" will do better than Cindy and her crew did here in New Zealand.

Has destroyed the NZ economy to the level of touch and go whether it will ever get back to reality.

What are your thoughts with Reform ?

initially thought Nigel Farage was a bit of a plonker but the more I have seen him the better I like him.

He is Bill Clinton's wankstain, to Monica Lewinsky's blouse. No matter what you do the twat will always be lingering.

He's no different to someone like Piers Morgan - his only goal is self serving, to remain relevant in popular and political culture. He does not give a jot for the working class, and neither the working class tories who oft have voted for the parties he leads.

He'll no doubt parade his plasticine chops all over the media tomorrow morning, as if he has become PM. Yet it's just more of the same soundbites he's been spouting since UKIP. I have to laugh when people or even people in political social commentary say ''ooh, that ReformUK are doing well considering they've only been around for four years...'' but really they are UKIP 3.0 {where Brexit Party was UKIP 2.0} and it's full of many of the same fucking bigoted pricks anyway - the fella at the helm being one hell of a completely raging one.

See you Justin 🙂

I get the feeling from your reply you really don't have a lot of time for "our" Nigel !!!.

Labour will win big, but at the detail level there are some really weird results happening tonight. Huge swings to labour in some areas, away in others. Religious bloc voting in some areas, Reform in others (those two will feed eachother you'd imagine).

The polls look like being broadly right on average but on a local level they're all over the shop.
