If they lose Hallam I wonder how many days until Clegg becomes a graunid journo?

He'll be on This Week. And then some shit documentry on European trains.

Him and Portillo could do a programme in Spain, they have so much in common given that they both speak Spanish and are Tory cunts.

Or a humanising documentary on Vidkun Quisling and other collaborators

Never. He will be grabbed from the stage during his concession speech, marched to the nearest lamp-post and made to do the tyburn jig

Dozens of voters denied chance to vote in marginal seat due to 'administrative errors'

There is, old Bavarian 19th C , prekapputenhoppen

This is why I always make sure I have a polling card, gives you plenty of time to fix any issues.

I don't think that would work; I suspect Nick is a T3000 sent from the future to terminate any enjoyment of political TV shows. He'll just melt through the rope and appear on the BBC election show twenty minutes later.

I think their ballot papers were eaten by the Swadlincote Panther: Has the elusive black panther been spotted in Swadlincote?

Victory to the heroic, albeit reformist, comrades of Tyssen Community Primary School in Stoke Newington.

Thanks for writing this post. I've given up being the other face of doom/hope on here. No matter what - something is in the air and we better make the most of it.

your / others on here 'face of doom' presence always valuable for us 'just this once ' brigade ( certainly for me ) - in the absence of time / space / energy to engage with other 'still not Lab' leftist sources, it acts as an easy to access break / limiter on any potential wholesale slide into the soc democratic abyss. I end up quoting / referencing irl .

There's already been beef with missing postal votes in plymouth too. At least one tory/lab marginal there IIRC.

Let's see what happens in bethnal green and bow, famous for its fraud, allegedly

Aren't postal voters as likely to be less mobile Tory voters as Labour students?

Two. Plymouth Moor View and Plymouth Sutton & Devonport are both very marginal

Sabotage by the postal service? Let's face it, if it was one of us with a pile of them to deliver to houses in the bit of town with long driveways they might just find their way into the canal instead...

 

[happie chappie]

Just finished door knocking in Notts - reported 85% student turnout!!

So, who's feeling optimistic then? Could do with a counterbalance.

Some were being turned away while they had their polling cards with them.

Reports of naked voter suppression are kind of depressing, but they show one thing - that tories or those acting on their behalf are worried they won't win this thing.

Still thinking that a hung parliament is possible. I shall continue to think this for at least another 85 minutes.
