Fuck! And after I made such a fuss of the month rule. :slightly_frowning_face:

I’m going to go for the Truss option and say that actually I didn’t post in the June thread in July enough.

Getting canvassed literally every day by the Greens atm. You have my vote lads, please leave me alone.

My recycling bin is half booze bottles and half Starmer leaflets

Pleased to report that I’ve heard absolutely nothing from Kellie-Jay Keen and the shit yourself for attention transphobe party though. If it hadn’t been mentioned on here I’d have genuinely no idea she was running.

Just realised there isn’t a Reform candidate in my constituency (though there is a Workers Party of Britain one).

Keep getting pamphlets from Galloway’s lot and that has probably been about as intense as the campaigning has been after the standard leaflets you get at the start.

Lots of Labour placards none for the other parties at all round here.

Loads of lid dem placards and posters up near me, one massive reform one in one of the million pound houses, one tory one and one labour one

i live in a tory constituency and I still haven’t seen one tory poster. We’re on the Davey train

Still stubbornly predicting a hung parliament, as I was a year ago, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary

Also on tory seat and lib dem target book. Getting absolutely hammered with the leafletting, door knocking and plaques. Have also had the reform candidate door knock last week. Disappointed to see that someone of the other side of the street took materials from him and is displaying them out the front of their house.

Looks like the big man was saving himself for the final push

We’ve had endless leaflets from the LibDems (going to win, so wish they’d calm it) and SNP (no-one here cares due to the fucking of healthcare in the town). Rest of our candidates apparently don’t exist. Worst leaflet was the faux-handwritten note from LibDem, Christine Jardine. Cringe enough that I hope it loses her a few votes.

Absolutely no posters in windows or on lamp posts which is weird. You wouldn’t know an election was happening. Which is nice.

Safe Labour seat here (Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough). Had one leaflet from Labour (with the wrong election date printed on it), one from the Greens and a leaflet plus door knock from the ‘independent socialist for Palestine’ candidate, Maxine Bowler. No Tory or Lib Dem activity here (never is, at least not in my bit of the constituency), there’s a Workers Party candidate who I saw leafletting outside one of the local mosques but otherwise nothing. And no Reform candidate here but there is an SDP candidate - don’t think there’s a formal pact between the parties anymore but this is one of the handful of the seats in South Yorkshire where Reform are standing aside for the SDP.

Gill Furniss the Labour candidate and sitting MP cried off our local hustings and has been a largely absent MP generally.

Nothing around here to suggest that Furniss is in any danger of losing, not least because the anti-Furniss protest vote will be split between the Greens, the Workers Party and Maxine Bowler the independent, but hoping to see a big chunk taken out of her vote at least.
