"Green fields" are often much over rated. It was fantastic for my hayfever when a field near my parents got a housing estate on top of it and could no longer be used for rapeseed

Britain decided but we won’t get back square one. Yet another broken Tory promise.

“Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future, to decide whether we want to build on the progress we have made or risk going back to square one” I liked square one. I could get a GP appointment the next day. I could drink tap water. I could work in the EU without a visa. #VoteSquareOne

This isn't bringing me the joy I hoped. Even though it's good news. Still, an unexpected early night is always good

It’s Election results eve tonight, so I’m putting out a mince pie and a hairbrush for Sir John Curtice, a carrot for IPSOS, and a letter asking for chopper bike, a Big Trak, and for Jacob Rees-Mogg to lose his seat.

It's election day! Which means that me and @christhebarker.bsky.social have launched the online version of #portillogeddon. Cross off the Tories as they are defeated by clicking on their faces. Or use automatic mode if you just want to sit back and watch it happen.

Ok sure, a vote for Saxon might lead to certain death for humanity, but at least he's not the Tories.

Have a great day and remember to exercise your democratic right.

If you put party before country, don’t be surprised when the country notices.

Woke up to sunshine in Lancashire. Ideal voting weather. #ToriesOut

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

I've just seen a FB post that says Reform are racist. A comment says that's all a Zionist mainstream media plot to keep the small parties down. Claiming to not be racist by being racist is a novel approach I suppose.

Looks like the Tory candidate stopped off to canvass on the way back from the bookies

Reading this thread has inspired me to read more PKD

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

Brilliant work by Led By Donkeys. They disrupted Farage’s latest rally with a Putin banner.

Modern music is no more shit than it was when you were young, it's just that we had to really think about the 1 album we could afford to buy a month, so we ended up with a decent curated selection, now it's all so available and thus disposable so overall quality seems worse.

So… is anybody planning to stay up literally ALL night and watch the UK election? If so, how handy are you with a spreadsheet? And… do you fancy being part of something? Hit me up if you do…

Great poster.

Business minister bets on Tories winning the election. The only scandal I see here is that someone with that level of poor financial judgement was appointed as a business minister!
