Action without thinking is idiocy, but thinking without action is anxiety.

I trust Brits thinking 'it's a foregone conclusion so why bother to vote' are watching events in France and the US. It is *never* a foregone conclusion and you *always* have to vote against the bad people because they will sure as shit vote against you.

it's 2024 and my cat's robot litter box can send me push notifications to my apple watch, which is so ridiculous it sounds like a joke they'd make in a 90s cartoon to explain how stupid the future is

Why our schools are crumbling, staff leaving and the DfE has failed to meet their own recruitment targets year after year.

Remember what the Dali Lama said. 'If you think you are too small to make a difference try sleeping with a mosquito.' The most important thing we can all do on Thursday is VOTE.

I don't know about you but I am utterly exhausted by the endless dysfunctionality, blatant lies and corruption since Brexit. Even during the #UKGE2024 we continue to be exposed to it. I just want it to be over so that we can hopefully get some redress and stability. It's neverending.

People of Clacton You have to be very clever on July 4th Vote Green maybe?
Yet Farage declares that he cannot travel by train as it's too 'dangerous' for him. So perhaps he knows he's not quite as beloved by the population as he is by the Media & the desperate Tories?

Tactical voting isn't a workaround for FPTP it's a toxic outcome. People focus so much on what they don't want they haven't thought about what they do want. There's no place for real political thought. Elections become a cynical game. Between safe seats & tactical voting most votes are meaningless
