Not pictured but I've never seen a polling station so busy, also the first time I've seen so many young people there.
Meanwhile here's Gwanwyn, denied a vote as she has no photo ID. Don't be like Gwanwyn.

Mine was so empty the nice lady in the polling station offered to keep an eye on my dog while I voted. Wasn’t to sad to see a low turnout at it’s a gammon Tory town.

I saw about half a dozen at my polling station. No dogs, no bikes, all very quick and quiet.

Clearly Labour are chasing every vote. Just had them knock on the door to see if we were going to vote or had already voted. Is Slough going to be closer than I thought?

I’m down with Beth. ITV I may swerve as that odious turd George Osborne is on the team. His war on the poor and disabled for purely political reasons might well be the low point of the past 14 years.

Just a reminder - that funny howling noise you might hear at 10pm when the exit poll comes out is former forum member Wino, when he realises that the centrist melts he hates so much have done exactly what he claimed only an arrogant, talentless old man with even older ideas and a fan club heaving with bigots could do.

Lovely.

And the refusal to borrow for investment and historicallly low costs. A friend of mine on Twitter today was berating Reeves and Starmer for not committing to big fiscal expansion. But borrowing costs are over 4% now. So it's all a bit different. I'm happy to give Labour the benefit of the doubt as my friend was in his own way.

I'm swerving ITV too for the same reason as you.

You don't know the half of it! Normative determinism in action!

For the benefit of non-Welsh speakers:
Gwanwyn means "Spring" (the season) in Welsh.
We got her from a farm near Llandovery, Carmarthenshire early April last year.
As she's Welsh, she needed a Welsh name but we couldn't agree on a Welsh girl's name. Then, on the drive home through the Brecon Beacons, on what was the first Springlike day of the year, I was hit with inspiration.
