Nobody is mad. I am at peace.

George Galloway has voted, I see.

Some places barely have any kind of candidate as some of the responses here show.

Torn between just not bothering & voting for the one Green candidate standing in my ward. I’d vote Labour in places where there are councillors offering something locally, but that very much isn’t the case here.

Vote Tory = more...
taxes
regulation
shit bureaucracy
violent/sex crime
neglect of security/armed forces
A&E disasters / NHS neglect
chance of nuclear war
... while idiots babbling about trans & other shite get promoted all over sw1 #RegimeChange

No matter how many times I see Dominic Cummings lash out at the government, it always feels like I've accidentally skipped forward a season on Netflix.

poll

Feels like there needs to be a cartoon of ppl angrily spoiling their ballots with spunking cocks, then in the last frame a spunking cock in a suit is waving at crowds, about to enter 10 Downing St

In fact, that probably exists in some form

My local area didn't have a Green candidate in the end :(

You don't need to know the rest, but you'd best get cracking with that scaffold

At least when I'm living in North London in three days there'll be a guaranteed supply of Green candidates eh!

dj martian should sue domcum for plagiarism

Look, has anybody ever seen them both together?

PLANK Bojo risks nuclear war!

Get Nuclear Annihilation Done

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own etc

At least when I'm living in North London in three days there'll be a guaranteed supply of Green candidates eh!

we are all easily wound up at present and i can forgive this online unkindness but really i draw a red line at voting labour when it would clearly make a tory seat more rather than less likely. it is impossible to falsify polls by that much surely. if you can show me a recent finchley poll where the labour vote hasn't (unfairly) tanked then fictional finchley lj will recant and apologise

Was perusing that S Vessey article about Barnet Council with particular interest...

lol I didn’t see either incident! Thatcher country!

blimey, escalating rents and hyper-gentrification is really getting out of hand when even millionaires are getting squeezed out of SE10 :p

my official period of rent here in SE7 ends the day after Crossrail finally opens in Woolwich, lol

the latest baldiacs podcast with Kinnock the elder: "I think that Keir was probably born mature." 😂 all I can think of is childish + immature responses to that!

Kinnock looks ok for 80, dinno what those other two wastemans excuse is

I have heard tell of there being a painting in Lynskey's attic

Ah yes, the painting of a really clever, interesting guy lol

"Kinnock looks ok for 80, dinno what those other two wastemans excuse is"

Blood from human babies makes brains of elderly mice young again

tbf Kinnock is that obscenely rich he can afford the good baby plasma!

Anneliese Dodds saying Labour “never expected big gains” but results “will show the progress we have made under Keir’s leadership”. As Starmer said months ago, Labour will want people to compare these results to the 2019 general election rather than the 2018 locals.

— Sienna Rodgers (@siennamarla) May 5, 2022

yeah I always compare local council election results with general election results, just completely the same thing really, apart from everything.

Lab are going to use gains in *checks notes* cities to show that they are making progress.

if you did trend lines for wandsworth etc over the last 20 years i’d be pretty surprised if labour outperformed the trend

feels like the uk is winding up where the US has been for some time, with the ostensibly centre-left party representing urban voters and the conservatives everybody else

weird, I thought the metropolitan elite were thoroughly discarded by this shower. Good enough to use their votes, as always!

exactly!!

for all the spin it's important to remember 2018 for labour was a decent night but on a downward trajectory, yesterday was a middling night for them, essentially back to 2018 levels with some geographic shifting and mild tory ribbing, but on an upward trajectory. pic.twitter.com/2xR8mtSOem

The local election results are in, hold the front page! Nah, on second thoughts, let's not bother.

lol

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Georg John Tugendhat will be the man to eventually unseat her imo.

You can’t stop Tugmentum when it gets going.

Tugmentum? Sounds like...
