1. If you’re planning on nipping out to vote Tory…

   Stay at Home.

   Protect the NHS.

   Save Lives.

2. Sunak should have his passport confiscated so he can’t come to America tomorrow morning.

3. This is the least enthusiasm around an election I’ve seen in my lifetime. 

4. We’ll see which constituents dare vote Tory, it’ll be a mark of shame when it shows which area votes blue tomorrow.

5. Interesting to see who a modern Tory still appeals to. 

   They’ve done nothing to win over anyone centre left. 

   Labour are practically Cameron-era right. 

   The racists won’t vote for a non-white PM. 

   They want the youth voters to do national service. 

   No one born after 2000 is going to afford a house because of them. 

   The aged all died because of how they handled COVID. 

6. I’m not fussed who gets in to my constituency. Tories and reform have no chance. It’s a straight fight between lib dem, SNP and labour. I’ll vote for who I want (green) and if any of them win, so be it

7. Keir ‘my father was a toolmaker’ Starmer will be PM tomorrow by a long shot.

   Hilariously not because people have any faith in him. Purely on the basis that the Tories are an absolute abomination and Labour are a slight improvement, maybe.

8. Had a chat with my mum last night.

   She went for a coffee with two of her friends yesterday, and they were discussing which of the election candidates local to them had the kindest face, as a way to decide who to vote for. But mum isn’t convinced. She might vote Lib Dem because she met the candidate and he was a nice man, or she might vote Tory because even though she thinks they have been rubbish, she feels a bit sorry for them.

   Just remember, if you aren’t voting, that those three definitely will be….

9. There is one goal at this election. Kick the Tories as hard as possible.

   Labour have already won with a massive majority, so why not give your vote to a party you actually like the sound of. Literally anything other than Labour and Tory is a win this election.

10. Here comes a labour government.

    Brace yourselves for years of blaming the last government, while changing fuck all

11. Damn, didn’t even realise there was a general election.

12. LABOUR VOTERS this is for you.
    Wales has been run by Labour for 25 years under the Senedd government. We have the longest NHS waiting lists and ambulance response times, virtually no access to a dentist, the lowest education scores and school buildings falling apart, a national shortage of social and affordable housing, next to no infrastructure investment, banned road building and existing ones full of pot holes.
    Unwanted Labour policies have directly led to thousands of job losses, risk thousands more and have done billions in damage to our fragile economy.
    Similarly to the Tories they get rich and engage in sub par behaviour whilst we suffer, our 1st minister lost a no confidence vote over a month ago and refuses to go.
    Before anyone tries to defend them pointing to Tory funding, they get more per head then anywhere else in the UK to spend as they like, billions gets wasted on things that will bring no value and no return for voters.
    Perhaps the best example would be planting trees in Uganda, to the tune of £150 million. They also returned £155 million to Westminster unspent this year, and insist on expanding the Senedd despite apparently not having enough to fund the NHS.
    In the last few days they voted to reject legislation making it illegal for them to tell lies but passed one banning meal deals, discounts and free refills (during a cost of living crisis)!
    This is Keir Starmer’s blueprint, Labour will bring no positive change, they’re just the same as the Tories.

13. Voted Green in a Labour stronghold constituency. Tories won’t win and Labour should have a reality check

14. Just come back from voting and there was no one there. There was no queues when I drove past on the way to work this morning or when I’ve passed a few times today… I dunno if that’s a good sign or not. Most of my village is elderly rich people.

15. Depressingly two people I spoke to at work today all but confirmed they’ll be voting conservative. Boggles my mind it really does.

16. I have spent most of my working day trying to convince a couple of colleagues to go vote after work.

    Andrea Jenkyns is their current MP (who is touted to lose) and that is their reason for not voting, quote “Labour have it in the bag”.

    The mind boggles, can think of nothing better than been given the chance of unseating a Tory with a large majority.

    Think after 5 hours of pestering, they are going to vote.
