Our polling station wasn't even open when I passed at 7:50 this morning.
It's a good job we don't have elections this year in Bradford.

I had to Google Gail's, having never heard of it before. It's Greggs for posh people?Greggs is Greggs for posh people. Gails is Greggs for posh people who are too daft to go to Greggs.

A pretty good article by Baldwin.Going for full rejoin EU or even customs union and single market and free movement however means Starmer can kiss goodbye to any prospect of a second Labour majority as the redwall seats Labour gained at the last general election which voted for Boris in 2019 would go Reform en masse and the Tories would pick up some softer Leave middle class seats which voted Tory since 2010 but went Labour last year too.
Starmer's mistake though isn't one or two policies that are affecting almost no one but that he doesn't know how to set the weather. The British like a leader who leads
Half the time he looks like he's following farage and half following Trump. Meanwhile there's a large centre ground that only Ed Davey seems interested in.
He has two opportunities staring him in the face. One is the EU full on. The more opposition from the Telegrah The Mail and the Express the better. Make the Tories and Reform look like the reactionaries they are. They are pathologically against but by at least 60/40 the voters are not.
The second is moral leadership which does not involve ramming his head up Trumps backside. The pendulum is swinging wildly in America at the moment and as in the Vietnam days the Universities are pointing the way
So Insttead of sending Rayner to say how appalling anti Semitism is on the 80th anniversary of Bergen Belsen he should have got her to ask what the world has learnt in those 80 years.
And to have had the courage and leadership to point out that the number of deaths in Bergen Belsen in 4 years precisely matches the number of Palestinians who have lost their lives to the Israels in less than 2......
He would end up having to do a deal with Ed Davey to stay in office, maybe even the SNP and Corbynite Independents too, which would mean a closer relationship with the EU anyway and a harder line against Trump and Netanyahu

As I don't have a dog I have had to vote by post.

Canada also goes with the Green Party joint leadership. It doesn't seem to work, does it?The problem for them is if they went for the traditional leader/deputy approach the deputy always ends up green with envy.
"Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault has announced that he is stepping down from his post after failing to secure a seat in the House of Commons."

Don't forget your photo ID and to stock up on snacks for the overnight stint. Good luck to all PB candidates and poll workers.
