GE 4th July

[FOHM]

Looks like this date is to be announced. I’ll be away unfortunately but let's hope this is true.

Keeping everything crossed!!!! Cannot wait to be rid of these Tory cunts

Yes!

Fuck we're away too!

Yesss. Goodbye Tories 😁(hopefully!)

Thank goodness. I suppose they were waiting until inflation dropped, plus long days in July mean more older people vote.

You forgot to add self-serving, women hating, pocket-lining...

Should be time to register for postal votes if needed?

If you will be away, get a postal vote sorted ASAP!!!

If you are away, organise a postal vote. I had to do this as I work as a poll clerk but not in my local station.

Thank you.

We will be in the middle of nowhere which is a shame as I can remember watching tv the night of May 1st 1997 and thoroughly enjoying it

Yes. Postal votes for those away. Can they be used for people without the required photo id too? I certainly hope so.

Just checking recent posts by key MN Tories to see what the attack lines will be.

Thanks for this, we don’t actually go away until the week after and dh and I already have postal votes but it’s given me the kick up the bum to remind ds to register for postal. Will sort it tonight when he’s home from work.

I hope it is before our holiday though, I do like watching the results announced through the night - crikey just realised how boring I sound!

My elderly mother is excited about getting to vote one more time. She’s very keen to see the back of the Tories.

I’m gutted at the date - I might have to have a proxy. I’m not away but have a hospital minor op that day. Might be able to get in very very first thing depending on where the polling station is!!

Good. Now get out.

You don't need photo ID for your postal vote.

The alternative is to arrange for a proxy ie someone to cast your vote on your behalf. But you have plenty of time to arrange a postal vote, which is the better option as you will be casting your vote yourself.

Should add, that postal votes can be delivered to a polling station in your area up to 10pm on polling day. However the rules recently changed and the person delivering should be a close family member and has to sign a declaration to state why they are delivering your postal vote.

This is a total faff for them and polling station staff so better to stick it in a postbox before election day!

Thank you OP.

I've just applied for a postal vote. I've been meaning to do it for ages and it took me less than 5 minutes just now 👍

Somewhat overexcited. Am applying to work as a count assistant. I need to get one of those rubber thimbles my mum used to have.

Im going to get a postal vote as I’ll be overseas on 4th July.

I'm sad to miss the numerous'Portillo' moments I anticipate happening that night.

I went to bed after the Portillo moment. It was so, so pleasing to watch I'm lose his seat.

I am over the moon! I think I will be celebrating this one with afternoon tea, a party or something like that!

If I don't get to work at the count, I'll see if the local will do a lock-in with a big screen TV
