Pamela: I have no idea! I went earlyish, so it wasn’t open anyway. I think probably the rules are that candidates and their minders can’t buy voters drinks, at least, not until the votes have been cast. But there aren’t any police around (rural, remember?), so no-one would know anyway.

Queuing at my polling station in Tooting before the doors opened and still queuing at 11am. #UKGE2024

My polling station is in a pub. I’ve rarely encountered another voter there (it’s a very low population rural area) but, two today! Practically a mob!

Aren't there laws against serving alcohol at polling stations, or is that just in the US? 😄
