You might not like it but the use of the local newspaper format in elections goes back at least to the 1990s. Where have you been?

[Maybe not the right thread (Streatham constituency includes four wards north of the S Circular of Brixton Hill, Tulse Hill, Clapham Common and Thornton as well as the four Streatham town centre wards]
Here's the Yougov MRP poll results for Streatham constituency
Vote estimates (with 95% confidence interval upper and lower limits)

Lib Dem 24% (Low 17% High 32%)
Con 14% (Low 9% High 19%)
Green 7% (Low 3% High 11%)

When he was still in the Labour Party, I emailed him about stuff three or four times. Never even got an acknowledgement.

At the hustings thing earlier in the week, someone in the audience read out a tweet from Chuka saying how he would continue to support and represent the interests of Streatham after changing parties. It took a while for the laughter to die down.

I have had several personalised letters from Chuka urging me to vote Lib Dem.
I am tempted to vote for them (as the least bad option) - but every time he writes to me I become less tempted
Also- It is now a daily challenge to open the front door when I get home due to the piles of L.D. bumpf sent to me every day. It is very offputting and, for a greenish party they sure do get through a lot of trees

I think some of that frustration is shared by the local LibDem campaign team who haven't been told the schedule for mailshots by the national party aimed at Remain voters across London and the SouthEast, resulting in local volunteers delivering after the postie has been around discovering that many households have already received something that day!
But overall the volume of leaflets any household will get will be less paper to recycle than one copy of the Saturday Guardian.

What was it about?
I emailed him about an issue I had and got a response which didn’t address the issue at all. It spoke about national issues, rather than the very specific thing regarding my road that I asked about.
So I wrote back, stating that he must not have read the email properly as he addresses points that I didn’t make.
Again, some pre written bullshit. So I wrote a third time and reminded him that he had pulled out of the Labour leadership race, has no shadow ministry and is now a backbencher so should be thinking about his constituents rather than the national interest.
I then got a curt response to say he couldn’t help.
So he did fuck all, but at least I kept getting responses. But that was when I started voting Green.

Thing is that fake newspaper makes me want to vote for Labour candidate more.
She is Corbyn loyalist.
Plus having a picture of chuka on front page isn't for me an incentive to vote LD.
Heard Chuka on radio this morning criticising Corbyn for not supporting NATO. Like it shows how Corbyn is unfit to be PM.
I'll be voting Labour.

Cafe Vivaldi, 2 Leigham Hall Parade (near corner of Leigham Avenue),
Life Cafe, 5 Astoria Parade (near Odeon) -
The Winning Post Cafe, 161-163 Greyhound Lane by Rabbit Hole (formerly Greyhound) pub
All three should still give change from a tenner
Couple of other places I might have previously recommended got shockingly bad hygiene ratings.

Cheers..I'll give Vivaldi and Life a go - I love Wholemeal Cafe but sometimes you just need a little grease.

Almost all the places I like (or have liked) in Brixton have terrible hygiene ratings! The original Phoenix was a solid zero or one star- and that was my favourite cafe by miles!

Hmm... I'd be wary of that as there's a lot that go wrong with the ingredients for a full English.
Seems that there is very little middle ground these days between a shithole that serves up a plate of crap you could buy at wholesale for 70p and those artisan joints that'll set you back £15+ for a big breakfast. Steve's in Herne Hill is one of the rare exceptions I can think of in the wider area but I never seem to pass through there these days.
ETA - Went to Vivaldi today. Seemed clean and really nice people running it. Food a little bland but I'll test them on their bubble next time I'm in. Cheers for that Lang.

The Metrpolitan Police have released CCTV footage and an image of a man that they would like to speak to after a teenage girl reported she had been raped in Streatham.
The incident happened on Wednesday 11 September 2019 at around 3.30 p.m. after the victim, a 15-year-old girl in her school uniform, had got off a bus on Streatham High Road.
As she turned into Guildersfield Road she was approached by a man who engaged her in conversation. They turned into Buckleigh Road where the man led the girl to an alleyway and then sexually assaulted her.
After the attack he walked back down Guildersfield Road towards Streatham High Road.
Anyone who recognises the man shown in the picture or who has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact police on 101 and quote CAD 5718/11Sept19 or tweet @MetCC. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I’m hesitant to post this after GarveyLives for fear of comparison, but I was prevented from driving up Downton Avenue in Streatham Hill this evening. It seems someone was stabbed there.

Details of the crime that led to the local traffic disruption referred to (and details of the traffic diversions) have now made the national news:
Mother, 36, who screamed 'I've been stabbed!' as she slumped over her child's pram with blood pouring from her head after being knifed three times in 'mugging' on residential London street
Hopefully, the publicity will result in a more detailed description of the person responsible that considerably narrows down the field of potential suspects:

A 43-year-old man, who has not yet been named, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and suspected possession of offensive weapons. He visited a west London police station in the early hours of this morning. The suspect remains in police custody as inquiries continue.
