Go to something like https://compressjpeg.com/ and it will compress your files/jpeg/gif/pdf etc for you. Especially if you don't know how to do it yourself or can't be arsed. It will make your pics come under 1000kb/1mb. |

I received my polling card today for Swindon Borough elections on your 2nd May.
Do you have a different calendar to the rest of us then? "One of your earth months"  |

You have a long memory, Reg. I have supported the Lib Dems in the past and I'm still sympathetic to a lot of what they stand for, but they didn't get my vote in 2017.
The indicative votes process seems to have been very flawed. As Ken Clarke pointed out, many supporters of one option voted against their 2nd best option in fear that their main preference would lose ground. So, for example, many supporters of a confirmatory referendum voted against the Common Market 2.0 option - even though many will have been broadly supportive of it. I don't doubt that what you say about the Lib Dems is true and, that being the case, that they screwed up.
Never underestimate the ability of the Corbynsita to remember the Lib Dems when it is handy to ignore the anointed one actively delivering the Brexit of JRM, Johnson and Gove for so long. FWIW the majority abstained on the Customs Union one and it was split on the CM2 one, but hey ho. The Lib Dems, like many got tied up in the way you describe above and its time for the MP's supporting softer options to get their houses and order and stop voting against what they don't like and strat considering what would actually be least damaging to the country as a whole As we are in a questioning mood, I would be interested in hearing Regs thoughts of the 24 Labour MP's who voted against the 3 line whip on the confirmatory vote, which if they had followed would have been more than enough to get that over the line? |

It should also be noted given the closeness of the votes on Common Market 2 and Customs Union that the Lib Dems, who are supported by several leading voices on here voted against. Some of the Lib Dems. Norman Lamb, who is leading the very small field for the title of my favourite MP, voted in favour. As did Farron. |

I would guess, and I don't know that they are from heavy referendum leave constituencies and feel obliged to follow the advice of their electorate. |

Surprised to hear Farron is still a Lib Dem, let alone an MP given his views on homosexuality..... |

Helpful graphic showing where the blockages on the indicative votes have been coming from.  |
