He will be getting my vote today. Khan is shite. Bailey an even bigger waste of space. Loathe to vote Green or LD after this Aimee Challenge fiasco. Also keen for Binface to get more votes than that useless twat Lawrence Fox.

 

[Raven]

Make sure you take your own pen or pencil.

Fucking Tory cunts

Plans for 50% funding cut to arts subjects at universities ‘catastrophic’

Didn't realise I had to, cheers for that

 

[Raven]

I did vote for one Tory, but I know her through parish council work, and she is actually pretty decent and does do a lot of work for us.

Other than that, I voted green, spoiled my police commissioner ballot.

I'd be split between Binface and Max Fosh tbh.

But yeah the only thing I'd be interested in is humiliating Lawrence Fox

 

[Embattle]

Fortunately not living in London any more means I don't have to concern myself with voting for a succession of shit mayoral candidates, Lawrence Fox is a utter wanker and seems fairly dense imo.

He's a complete and utter bell

 

[Raven]

The only thing I care about the mayoral election is that penis getting completely humiliated.

 

[Tom]

I will be voting for Andy Burnham. He seems like a decent guy IMO and he's doing quite a lot of good. Most importantly for me, devoting £160m (as a start) to walking and cycling infrastructure. Getting superb new stuff like this built:

UK’s first ‘CYCLOPS’ junction opens in Manchester to boost bike safety - Cities Today

A new Cycle Optimised Protected Signals (CYCLOPS) junction, which fully segregates cyclists from general traffic, has opened in Hulme, Manchester. It is the first of its type in the UK but more are set to follow.

There are lots more of those on the way, expect to see them appear around the UK over the next few years. Loads are planned in Salford.

I like Andy. Surely he'll go back to being an MP before long and take another run at the Labour leadership.

 

[JBP|]

Later on today I will be voting independent as much as I can. There's been quite a push to remove the labour local council that have been in power since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

 

[Jupitus]

I'll be voting as a protest / for change. Count Binface / Max Fosh for mayor and green for local elections.

[Scouse]

I'm moving to Blackburn!

 

[Tom]

Anyway I voted 2x green councillors, and Andy Burnham for mayor with a green candidate as second choice.

Tories have no chance where I live, but more green votes might sway Labour more toward green transport policies. To be fair, they've done some good stuff lately although they are treating consultations as referendums, which is bullshit.

 

[Embattle]

Seriously what is the point, it won't change the outcome of the election it just makes you look silly.

'Pilfering' Labour councillor 'caught STEALING Tory election leaflet'

Councillor Rachael Ellis was spotted on a constituent's doorbell camera as she strode up to the house clutching a stack of Labour Party leaflets on Saturday in Bestwood St Albans.

Spanked:

Hartlepool result in numbers

There were 16 candidates in Hartlepool but here are the key results:

Jill Mortimer (Con): 15,529

Paul Williams (Lab): 8,589

Mortimer has won with a majority of 6,940

Was the previous Labour candidate bad or something?

 

[Raven]

Just people that are still conditioned to vote Tory.

I honestly don't know why they bother with leaflets. Nobody ever reads them, and it's just more unnecessary rubbish through the door that goes straight in the recycling.

 

[Embattle]

Just people that are still conditioned to vote Tory.

That might be true if they had ever voted Tory before.

 

[Overdriven]

London: Con / Lab.
Sutton: Lab
The other one: Lab.

People should really read manifestos. At least it's less "fuck it" than just throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks.

 

[JBP|]

Well, we have a Conservative controlled council for the first time in 47 years, apart from that time in 2008 when there was no overall control.

Tories would've won the seat in 2019 if it wasn't for the Brexit Party taking loads of the vote. However, I do see this as an anti-Labour vote, rather than Pro-Tory. Not a lot of seats where an independent candidate takes 10% of the vote.

I still think this would have been very different under Lisa Nandy.

 

[Raven]

Lots of criticism of Starmer, and rightfully so after he declared he would take responsibility for the outcome.

A lot of it is that he is just a man of sound bites and zero action.

 

[Gwadien]

Labour are in the political wilderness, the masses have been conditioned to hate 'anti-brexit anti-north and pro-libtard London' Labour.

Any smart Labour politician will keep their head down for the next few years whilst we moan about the Tories but see them as the only option.

Covid is good for the Tories and bad for Labour no matter whos in charge and how many own goals the Tories score, as Ian Hislop said - People support governments and want them and perceive them as doing well in times of crisis because if they don't, they die.

 

[Aoami]

The masses have been conditioned because that's what this current edition of Labour are. An id-pol obsessed bunch of wetties. Until that changes, the public perception won't change. It's not some fucking media brainwashing, its the reality of the situation.

Find me some shit where Starmer has been going on about identity politics.

This is exactly my point, I'm happy for the criticism of Labour being London centric but I do feel like the identity politics thing is a massive over reaction from gammons that are upset that all their policies aren't to suit gammons.

Again, Boris has been accused of being a sleazeball (again) and he managed to turn the debate around into 'we're getting on with the job and you're just stoking this hysteria' which fucking worked.

Divide and conquer.
