We got to our polling station at 9, and there was quite a decent queue. On previous occasions we’ve walked straight up to the clerks.

We had a 5/6 household turnout at the locals in May (and I was standing!). 6/6 has been promised today.

Hearing turnout up markedly in Lab/Con marginal in Bedford and also Con/LibDem of Wokingham. Anecdotally its a younger set of voters than usual.

Some people saying as it's winter, more people will vote early than late, so not necessarily a good indicator.

Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr)
7 million postal already cast. Don't expect weather to hinder Con voters, btw. I don't want people getting hopes up on random basis!

DV - out of interest, why does your daughter choose not to vote? Do you have any insight? :-) G

Will vote this evening. Never had more than two people in front of me in the queue before. Will be interesting to see if that differs today...

And they were cast before Johnson stole any iphones or hid in any fridges :-(.

Ipsos Mori poll out, pretty much in the middle of most of them:

CON: 44% (-)
LAB: 33% (+1)
LDEM: 12% (-1)
GRN: 3% (-)
BREX: 2% (-)

The one interesting one in this, 23% of people STILL undecided!!!!

Final poll from ipsos mori:

Con 44%
Lab 33%
Lib Dem 12%
Green 3%
Brexit Party 2%
Other 6%

Agree the local level will be critical, a lot of anti-Redwood publicity in Wokingham Constituency, which is about 50m from my front door.

Crikey - some big queues on here:

metro.co.uk

BUT main thing is , these are mainly in already safe Labour seats (which is what some of the registration figures showed) and kind of what happened in the US when Trump got in. Still think it points to Tory majority. Haven't feel the need to revise my prediction from a Tory 20-40 seat margin.

Anyone else willing to make some predictions.... TMW?

Prediction is probably too grand a term for my guess - Bojo 1 or 2 short of a majority.
I’m usually wrong to be fair :)

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.

*** Last poll winner
