Reports of students in Southampton and Cardiff being turned away despite being registered to vote. Seems legit as both universities have posted on social media to say they have contacted the electoral commission with their concerns.

Also reports of people in certain areas who have already voted by post turning up at polling stations.

In this day and age you'd think they'd be able to stamp fraud out.
I had to by pass a myriad of security questions earlier today before I could arrange a time slot for a fucking furniture delivery FFS

Ultimately that's what it comes down to.

In theory, if Labour win, all working class people will be well off in a few months. I doubt it very much...
Depends on how you define better off. Money in my pocket I will see no change as won’t the majority of working people. However my youngest daughter had a perforated eardrum repaired earlier in the year and was supposed to have a checkup 3 months after her last checkup and my wife rang the hospital today as we hadn’t received an appointment and it seems she’s on a waiting list for her 3 month checkup and all they can tell us is that it won’t be this side of Xmas. In other words it won’t be the three month checkup that it’s supposed to be. If my daughter can get a three month checkup when she’s supposed to I really couldn’t give a flying one if I’m not better off in my pocket because my daughters healthcare isn’t something that I can put a monetary price on. That’s the better off I value and voted for.

I also don't know why we get pencils to vote with. This is obviously a previous election, but you do wonder:

In all seriousness if it was a hung parliament right

Would Corbyn and the snp teaming up be more than the amount of seats the conservatives have or would they also need the Lib Dem’s on board?

No-one knows right now. We need these things called results to come through first. They tell us which party won which seat and therefore how many seats that all have in total.

If it's a hung parliament should Boris stand down? That's a genuine question.

He has the right to try and form a government first

Yeah a Brexiteer inadvertently invalidates the referendum result, no lateral thinking at all

Eh? I'm not sure what you mean. We were just talking about electoral fraud and this was just thrown out there to show how easy it is to subvert our system if you have a rubber, or someone else's polling card etc. Not sure what brexit has to do with it.

Check out any Waitrose car park. If it's not some Chelsea Tractor across all the bays it's discarded trollies they can't be arsed to put into the trolley parks once they've loaded the car up.

I would imagine the £36,000 a year educated Mr McDonnell with his second home and yacht doesn’t shop at Aldi

Would depend on numbers. You can add 5 on with Plaid/Green too.

Are we really doing this, making sweeping assumptions about the political allegiances of inconsiderate drivers? Wow.

Nope. Making out the way people in Waitrose park. Never mentioned anything about their political allegiance.

Strong rumours that Boris is in trouble, lots of tactical voting in his constituency.

As long as Tories have a majority would make no difference as leader

Sudden spike in value of sterling, some suggestion exit poll data is leaking. On the spread markets predicted Tory seats going up*

*I don't fully understand spread markets for the record.
