Going to post my vote tomorrow.
I looked at all the candidates and some were easy for me to dismiss, that being Greens and Lib Debs, I think Ed Davey of those two has made a great effort to be noticed but sadly not enough to change my mind on their past choices, and I'm not convinced those problems have gone away.
That leaves the independents, Reform and Labour...
The independents can be tempting, but I need to get the Tories out and make sure the most suitable party gets in...That is not Reform. Nothing to do with Farage's recent comments, I think I've voiced my views on the EU and NATO enough times, but there is more important issues here at stake for the UK, NHS, Schools, Housing, Cost of Living, blah blah blah - I don't feel I can trust Reform with all these things, we don't need more billions squandered.
I do have the option of not voting, but my cross is on Labour, for one reason and one reason only, I trust the integrity of Starmer even if he don't say alot. He promises nothing, but I don't want broken promises, I also trust him not to steal from us and for all those other things we want to achieve, if we get a small fraction of them from not giving money to our tory mates, then it's a start.
Once Starmer gets in, I accept he could be removed and as long as I don't see that Thornberry anywhere near the despatch box, I can live with it. If she does then I'll be stealing Pinkies bike and parking it in her backside. As for the militant fringe don't get me started on them, I hope Mick Lynch chokes on his whiskey lol
So Starmer gets loaned my vote for 5 years....ffs...

The only thing that could scupper my vote is if the Royal Mail decide to go on strike, now that would be funny.
