To wonder labour supporters what you are all going to do on Friday

[thisismeusernameything]

If you wake up and are still under conservative rule?

Not goady, just genuinely interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

Also should be said that I am under no illusion that Labour will win- I know Tory will win again.

I'll go to work where I fear I'll spend much of the day trying to convince poor and disabled people not to kill themselves.

I'm going shopping what are you doing?

I dont know about Labour supports but I will be sleeping off a boozy all nighter. I will be up all night watching the results and will have a few drinks if we win and a few drinks if we lose.

I will be trying to help my dd, appeal the Atos decision of getting nil points in all categories of her dla/pip assessment, even though she was in the throes of a major flare up & could barley walk, hands & feet swollen, couldn't get her coat off or sit down without help.
She was diagnosed with lupus/fibromyalgia five years ago, was in receipt of high rate mobility & care, according to Atos she doesn't need any help.
I have had her & dgd at home with me for the last three weeks as she cannot care for the baby, she can't lift her, buckle her in the pushchair bath her etc, dd needs help getting in the bath/cutting her food/dressing due to the sheer amount of pain she is in at the moment.
Dd tried to continue with ft employment, but it proved so detrimental to her health (tiredness/fatigue contributes to muscle pain) so has had to drop down to twelve hours a week, so she can get enough rest.
The Dla award made life just that little bit easier.
So in answer to your question probably having a little cry & hope that an appeal is successful.

Go to my crap job in the nhs where everyone is overworked and stressed and we are weighed down with several layers of management and count the years to retirement. Nearly everyone is doing that anyway. Then ill pick myself up and be grateful I'm.not homeless and in need of a food bank like many. And moan about a world in which one human being wont get out of bed for less than £300k a week while the next human being doesn't have a roof over their head or food. Im not a Labour supporter but I cant bear the inequality any more.

I'm dieting and off the booze, but I think I'm going to need a few stiff drinks on Friday.

When will we get a good indication of who has won and by how much?

I'm assuming it's going to be a Tory win, but hope the win is tempered by a reduced majority.

Not sure I can face staying up all night. Did last time and was depressed for days afterwards[sad[

I'll be sat worrying about the implications it will have for our family. I am sure Tories will win.

Country is so divided and polarised right now. Leave/Remain Left/Right. Reading political threads and forums, there's just so much hatred and tribalism. And people mocking each other. I'm guilty of trying to get my point out on forums too but there's just so much myth, hype and hysteria.

Has the country always been this divided or do I just see and feel it more now? Things that people wouldn't openly spout out are now accepted as normal things to say. It's shocking.

I think the best anyone can do is try to take small but significant steps to making life a little less shit.

Why specifically Labour supporters and why specifically improving lives, OP? On Friday in particular? I still don't really understand why you're asking this question?

Probably accept the job we were offered in another country. TM scares me and I would rather be away from it to be honest.

Some more cuts are happening already.

I think I will feel worse then I did after Brexit. I have seen services go down hill both professionally and personally because of the cuts then the voluntary sector are expected to pick up the slack with very little money.

The NHS will be gone, Jeremy Hunt has literally co-authored a book calling for the denationalisation of the NHS. The Police, the District and County Councils, Schools and Social Services will all be affected. If anyone has personal experience working in these areas you will know of the strain they are already under, they can't take any more cuts. The way people on benefits are treated is disgusting and private companies are leaching off the DWP with their work programmes which consist nothing more than sitting people in a room and telling them to do a CV with no help or guidance.

We're also supposed to be a civilised society, but a country which has pretty much waged war on disabled people doesn't get the right to call themselves that.

Fracking and the enviroment, we're so touchy about building houses in the countryside but apparently fracking is ok, as long as it's not in your own backyard, right?

I'm sorry for the rambling on a bit, but I want a better society than the one we have now and the way we get there isn't be looking out only for ourselves, we have to look out for each other.

Imbeingunreasonable I imagine the media contributes to the feeling of tribalism. When you read the news, you expect it to be the facts of event but now everything is spin. Even the respected newspapers are guilty of this.

I have seen the cuts though and I know what's coming, I know when I go to work on Friday I will feel like absolute shit.

I think it would make me feel better if it was all about finances but it isn't, they done all these cuts have they nothing to show for it aside from adding on to the national debt.

Doesn't matter who wins this country will be fucked!

So Friday I will get up take dc to school and carry on. Maybe I will buy a bottle of wine and debate with DH on how we can save more money and budget cut. Other than that I will carry on as normal.

I will do what I did last time, have a little cry and then go into the disability charity that I work for and console others.

Doesn't matter who wins this country will be fucked!

Yup, pretty much this

they done all these cuts have they nothing to show for it aside from adding on to the national debt.

Again, you cannot tackle the debt until you have reduced the deficit.. its really simple

Looking into private health care...

I would guess most of them will just think "ahh well the public has spoken" just the same way that everybody does.
Then they will go to work like normal

Exactly. This will be my tenth election- first one I won't be voting Labour. I will look forward to getting rid of Corbyn.

Well I could in theory spend all of Thursday night and up to 6am Friday morning in a specific pub (designated the Labour pub for the night). I sort of want to do it but I know I lack the stamina. That would make Friday a total wipe out, which is possibly what needs to happen.

well I expect the absolutely ridiculous, disgusting, selfish, bloodthirsty, lying, scaremongering, media controlling tories will win so I'll be preparing for financial doom as they merrily carry on pissing away our taxes while cutting essential services- having tripled the national debt in record time I expect that fiscal ridiculousness to carry on

I'm going to dig out my DReam vinyl 7inch of things can only get better and play it over and over,then read my Blair autobiography to remind myself of the glory days.

After doing that I'll probably do what I normally do. Not give a shit, crack open a bottle of plonk and get a bit tiddled! Once 12pm passes obviously!

Whatever happens, nothing will compare to how gutted I was over Brexit.

Will not be on here reading more smug shit from ivory tower right wingers

The latest polls are thoroughly depressing, so I'm prepared. Although I don't want to be. I shall be upset and scared with a tory win though and it worries me that I'm scared. Democracy shouldn't be scary, but when you're old and disabled (I'm both), it really is bloody scary.
