So communication leaflets are as follows. I'm campaigning for Labour, have a stake outside my house. Labour one post - I'm campaigning voluntarily so nothing else gets to me and I have a garden stake .

Two weeks ago two from the conservatives, and one from Lib Dems. Today in post, WEP addressed to all of us separately, reform 🤮 and Green.

I'll be finishing hand posting Monday morning, busy road.

Inspired by all the Angela Rayner love, I started this a couple of days ago and finished it this afternoon.

That's amazing Rishi. Can you do some more? I know a few Tory lads who are really going to miss her. They'd love one.😍😍😍

That’s gorgeous. You could sell prints of that, I’d buy one.

From The Telegraph. Some posters will hate the last paragraph.

Mr Sunak is highly likely to lose power on Thursday, bringing 14 years of Tory rule to an end. But the public is split on who should succeed him and, when presented with a list of seven potential future leaders, 26 per cent said they did not know while 20 per cent said “none of these”.

Most popular among all voters was Nigel Farage, who leads Reform UK but has refused to rule out a return to the Conservative Party at some point in the future. This may factor in Labour voters who believe Mr Farage is more beatable than Ms Mordaunt, as suggested by recent head-to-head YouGov surveys.

Seventeen per cent of voters said Mr Farage would be best to succeed Mr Sunak, while 16 per cent opted for Ms Mordaunt, who is fighting for re-election in what is expected to be a close race in Portsmouth North.

She emerged as the firm favourite among those planning to vote Conservative, with 32 per cent saying that she should succeed her former leadership rival. Just 13 per cent opted for Mr Farage, while Kemi Badenoch, Tom Tugendhat, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel and Robert Jenrick all polled in single figures.

Hello! So happy to have found this thread - I hadn't spotted the other ones so I hope it's ok for me to jump in?

Here is my cat tax: yes she is sleeping in the sink, no I have no idea why.

We haven't had a single leaflet from any party, we're usually a very safe Labour seat though so I don't mind. I think in 20 yrs living here I've had two Tory leaflets, they obs went straight in recycling.

I really can't wait until 10pm Thursday, I'm so anxious about the exit poll. I've taken Friday off work so am planning to stay up all night to watch, which I haven't done since 1997.

I'm having a chill day at a cider taproom near Bath. Sunny and lovely.
Got to finish leafleting for Labour- done 3 lots, 1 to everyone, 1 to postal only, 1 for the non postal which I'm doing now.
In return I've had one Tory by post (went in the bin) and one lib dem. I'm conflicted because I know the LD and he is great but I really don't want the incumbent Tory back

Please do. I really want one. It would be very cool on a tshirt too.

Checking in for the lead up to Thursday, I follow these posts avidly, but rarely post. I've changed my name in honour of my hopefully soon to be ex-MP.

We've had several Lib Dem flyers and I have a poster in my window. This definitely helped today to ward off the Reform canvasser who was posting leaflets. We were in the front garden hoovering out our cars and he made a definite swerve away from us and delivered next door instead. The invisible Mann has sent something addressed to DH. I'm off his Xmas card list as I took him to task on his FB page a year or so ago, resulting in him blocking me, so he knows I'm a waste of time.

121 hours until the exit poll 🤞

Just wanted to say how really lovely it is to see lurkers coming out to post on these threads. I lurked on MN political threads for years. I can confirm that sometimes its just lovely to get stuff off your chest. 😁 ✊

It is. It’s felt like we were a few lone voices at times.

CassieSaysGoodbyeTories · 29/06/2024 21:45

I think this is the best thread on the Internet. Real people, not bots. I value it hugely ❤️

I lurked on the Westminstenders threads from day one, posted very little because I felt completely outclassed by the incredibly erudite crew on there. They taught me so much about political analysis! And I now feel wise enough to post about politics, not just cats.

HauntedPollingBooth · 29/06/2024 21:47

Also has anyone looked at the 'Labour Can't Win' thread? Batshit.
