SHE DID IT! Happy 100th birthday to this wonderful Saintly woman. All hail the next generation of Olivia de Havilland. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/jun/27/happy-100th-birthday-eva-marie-saint-her-best-films-ranked

No pictures here, but she does tell People magazine her birthday plans.

Ed Davey turning up to the polling station:

Life with barks, death by bark.

Not in UK, but it's annoying how I can't truly be happy with the likely result knowing how much of a T*RF-pandering fuckwit Starmer has been. For tonight I'm going to focus my mental energies on who loses rather than who wins, as I'm not losing sight of the fact the Tories are the greatest cunts of all who deserve what's (hopefully) coming to them.

Surely that should’ve read: Willie ever return?

There must be people under 70 who could be good picks. The problem with this years list is the 90 year olds are not dying.

Reform Ltd. being dishonest? No way! Erm...

Is this where you confidently predict that the Tories will demolish the polls and squeak back in, a la Susan Hall..? Sorry for quoting him @TQR, but couldn't resist...

Voted Lib Dem as this constituency is a tight one between the incumbent Tory and the LDs. With true PR I would have voted Green, with limited PR I probably would have voted Labour as an anti-Tory vote.

I voted Liberal Democrat today. When your supposedly left-wing party is being outflanked by Joe Biden in twenty-fucking-twelve on trans issues, you don't deserve my vote.

Playing for England is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. You pull on your stockings, do your warm up and then the boss gives you 30-seconds at the end to perform. A Swiss Toney joke for Saturday*. *shamelessly cribbed from somewhere or other.

Went for the Lib Dems. I've recently moved back to my hometown, which is in the most northerly mainland constituency (and also the largest); which last election was marginal Lib Dem-SNP. I can't really bring myself to vote for the SNP at the moment given the shitshow that's gone down recently, and Labour have done absolutely no campaigning up here and selected some rando candidate with an address in London so they clearly couldn't give less of a fuck. Ed Davey's emphasis on social care definitely helped me feel more confident in my voting decision as my mum has MS (I believe his wife does as well) and it's good to see a party taking a firm stance in guaranteeing support.

I have no doubt that was deliberate, as it will mostly have been younger people affected.

Normally I’m a Green voter but the Tories have got to go. Voted Labour today.

I don’t disagree with your criticisms of the policy, but the gov.uk issued Voter ID is absolutely free. If you didn’t know that, that’s a failure on their part in that they didn’t promote this fact enough to people who need to hear it.

Labour have said that if they win they will review what ID is accepted. It’s unsustainable in London to accept a +60 TFL issued photocards but not a student TFL issued photocard.

Not gonna predict, just wish you all luck. Hopefully your country makes the right choice and y'all can sleep easier at night. Good luck!

please, put her on the damn list for 2025 before it's too late. She's 100% worth it

I voted Green. I'm in one of their target seats, Bristol Central, and there's basically 0% chance of a Tory win here. In a marginal seat, I would grit my teeth and vote tactically. That said, Gaza and trans issues are both important to me, and labour has been exceptionally disappointing on both counts. Pretty glad I didn't have to.

And on the electoral roll.
