Guardian, not admissable.
On the other hand, that Labour government was the result of the Major administration, and that was caused by Thatcher, who in turn arrived because of Callaghan.
Oh my God, where does it end? Gladstone? Disraeli? Walpole?

My watch says 8am 4th July. Woohoo!
Starmer is the reset switch. The baseline that the country can hopefully start being rebuilt from. Thereāll be a time in the future where there will be a viable candidate that isnāt Right of Centre and that has more personality than a wet paper towel. But it is not this day!

Right. Iām off to bed, as I need to vote bright and early. Gives me the rest of the day to scrub myself clean.

John. It went off the rails with the Magna Carta and it has been steadily downhill ever since.

Maria, just want to say that from afar I have enjoyed reading your posts and your stance.
If I were back in the UK I would vote Labour, but you consistently show disappointment with them. If they have any sense, they should listen to voters like you, because thereās nothing worse than when a political party takes its voters for granted, and even alienates them, while presumably still counting on their vote.
Job number one is surely to get the Tories out. Iām certain that will happen.
But a process of healing needs to happen, and Labour needs to make sure it listens to people it has been losing along the way.
In another world across the pond, it reminds me of the likes of Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian Congress woman, who would be anti-Trump all day long, but she has turned on Biden because of his neglect of the Palestinian people. She carries weight with a sizable portion of her community where she lives, and she is not the only one.

I know youāre grappling with what to do, but every single vote counts. They need to lose by as much as possible.
Vote for anyone, just not them.

Just out of curiosity, you did ask for a postal vote? Iāve been registered as an overseas voter since emigrating but I didnāt realise that I needed to re-register as a postal voter. I only picked that up because of a message my MP put on social media.
Reminds me of a discussion with a workmate in 2014.
He was absolutely raging mad that SNP failed in their bid for independence.
He was even more furious because the wasnt able to vote YES.
Reason?
He lived in England 
I tipped him right over the edge when I told him my missus voted NO, and that sheās English.
Hilarious stuff

Well that was more down to eligibility to vote. I can remember someone in Glasgow complaining that they didnāt get a vote in the Independence referendum and it transpired that he hadnāt realised that he needed to be registered first.
He thought the electoral register guy was after tax so he told them he didnāt live there!
To be honest, do you want someone that uniformed voting?

The sheer number of uninformed and/or plain thick people who will vote Conservative or Reform today will be a sad indictment of the people of this country.

I did, but apparently thereās a deadline thatās not publicised anywhere, for the postal votes to be sent out before a certain time. After that itās dependent on when the council sends them out.
