No.Has anyone got a sense of fatigue about this whole campaign?
I enjoy political bloodbaths, and the tories are trying to beat themselves up while losing the election.
Wonderful stuff.

Same, 100%. Very excited for election night, everything between now and then less so.But there will likely be a low turnout. There's little positivity in the system or for the future direction of the country afterwards. I've found myself now being more interested in the drama of the election night itself, the first Labour budget, and the future fate of the Conservative party than I am about the rest of the campaign which now seems pretty pointless to me. I think most people just want the nightmare to end and the world to move on now.
Some really surprising results, and shows just how toxic the Conservative brand is at the moment.
No one’s knocked on my door here, but I’ve had a fair bit of campaign literature. The Conservatives, Labour, the Lib Dems and Reform have all sent campaign letters through the door.I find it bizarre that I’ve had not one person from any of the political parties knock the door and try and persuade me. Given the projected losses for the Tories I would have thought at least one of them would be canvassing.
The Greens are ruthlesslessly focussing all of their very limited resource on the 4 seats they have any hope of winning - Brighton Pavillion, Bristol Central, Waveney Valley (which is a new constituencey straddling Norfolk/Suffolk) and North Herefordshire. Anything you get from the Green's outside of those areas will be funded and paid for by the local party/candidate, most of whom have literally no money at all.No one’s knocked on my door here, but I’ve had a fair bit of campaign literature.

Bizarrely, I haven’t yet had anything from the local Green candidate. I find that surprising given that he’s normally quite a vocal campaigner in elections, in terms of leaflets at least.
The Conservatives are short of people on the ground to do door knocking, they lost a lot of councillors at the local elections last month who would normally help with campaigning.I find it bizarre that I’ve had not one person from any of the political parties knock the door and try and persuade me.

They are on the sheet for my constituency as well. Never heard a word about them but from what you’ve said there they seem to make Reform look moderate…We've had a leaflet through the door here for a local party called the Heritage Party. I think it could give Reform a run for its money.
It's full of dog-whistling bullshit such as stopping our schools from "indoctrinating our kids with gender ideologies".
As we all know, teaching gender ideology is a major part of the curriculum and our teachers do nothing except teach wokism...
I'm tempted to contact our candidate to say our kids haven't been learning about that but have been learning about Arabic numbers instead, and see what he comes back with.
Well, the Heritage Party has roots in UKIP, so I'm not hugely shocked.They are on the sheet for my constituency as well. Never heard a word about them but from what you’ve said there they seem to make Reform look moderate…
They're absolute loons.Well, the Heritage Party has roots in UKIP, so I'm not hugely shocked.
Calling them loons is one way of putting it. Might need to go to the Tavern to exhibit our true thoughts on them...They're absolute loons.
No sex education until after the age of consent has been reached. Genius.
Turning off all 5G infrastructure overnight.
Genius.
A rather convoluted way of attempting to avoid 20% VAT on public school fees, but he has always been rather self serving.Probably called it early so that Sunak's whole family can jet off somewhere and the kids will be ready for the start of a new school year. Call it later and still lose anyway and the kids are half-way through a school/college year which is not ideal. They've probably all had enough and realise they'll certainly lose anyway so why hang in there and put the rest of your lives on hold for no reason and prolong the ridicule? Wouldn't surprise me if it's as simple as something like that.
