POLLING DAY THREAD
Longtime followers will know this is a tradition of mine. Bit of a later start today but that’s the local party’s call

Messed up that Exeter uni T*ries actually campaign now instead of just drinking port as they should
I can literally see it raining on the other side of the valley, can watch the rain moving closer Hill by Hill. Uh oh
Here it is!

Just slipped down a steep mossy drive and fully reactivated the pain in my ankle, prayers pls
Just run into the exact same letterbox from two years ago... making me nostalgic

Just graciously didn’t mow down a Tory candidate who was crossing the road directly in front of us
Unsure if this sandwich is, like, exceptional, or I’m just really hungry
Radiating like fire in direct sunlight. I have now seen two people visibly avert their eyes from me. This is good and conveys appropriately the majesty of the Party
A young campaigner, fighting for an even younger candidate, for a ward with a Uni campus on it? Now that’s what I call #YLWinningHere
Been mistaken for the candidate five times today... an omen?
Are you still out? I am! Delighted to be canvassing the prettiest street in the whole of Exeter with less than an hour to go!
They’ve finally forced me to stop, despite having a princely 31 minutes left
This, to me, is Eudaimonia. This is the good life. Being a good citizen with good friends. Happy polling day!
Lots of young tory paper candidates hanging around verification. Old frenemies of mine...
It is something, I think, when people can greet each other with a mutual “I hope you lose” and still have an element of warmth to it
7 separate emails today from various parts of the party reminding me to vote

In conclusion, the real winner of tonight is me, for figuring out where the poll workers were getting their refreshments & scoring two twixes and cup of tea before they could stop me. Finally going to sleep now!
