Last Labour poster window before polling day.
It's been amazing seeing the amount of enthusiasm for Labour, and that it's encouraged so many people - myself included - to get out and canvas for the first time.
The numbers across the country working together to spread Labour's manifesto of hope as far as possible is a sign that, regardless of what happens, there's a fire in the heart of so many for social justice and that won't be extinguished.
Thank you to everyone who has gone out there and canvassed, who has leafleted, phoned people, packed envelopes, run the boards, made the tea, put up a poster or a stake, had a difficult conversation with a friend or relative, who's shared a post on social media, who's done whatever they can to share a vision of hope for tomorrow. Thank you all so much.
Now, don't forget, get out to vote tomorrow, and vote Labour.

I wanted to capture this Labour stake that was brilliantly placed in a plant pot outside somebody's house, but the problem with trying to take photos whilst also giving a thumbs up whilst also trying to get a baby to sleep is that they often go a bit wrong.
So enjoy this photo if my thumb in crisp bright focus and a vague sense of a Labour sign behind it. :) It's been quite a day for seeing what Labour is up against, the Tories have tried to distract from Johnson refusing to look at a photo of a small boy forced to sleep on an overcrowded hospital floor as a result of Tory cuts to the NHS by firstly "threatening" to review the license fee (which nobody can do until 2027) and then fabricating a story about a Tory aide getting punched.
Sure, Tories will lie, the problem is that these stories were merrily peddled by prominent political editors, the latter being proved a falsehood shortly after it was "broken" by people who - like any good journalist should - waited for proof.
It's evidence that this isn't just Labour vs Tory, it's also Labour vs Mainstream Media. It's a huge fight, but so many wonderful people have been out cane, campaigning, putting the hours in and - like the folks at this house - putting the stakes and posters up.
Thank you everyone fighting for a better future.

Have yourself a Merry Christmas and vote Labour. Otherwise you'll probably be getting a visit from three spirits, and it'll be too late to change your vote by then, so they'll - quite rightly - drag you to Hell.
Love and hugs to all those voting to end homelessness, to end poverty, to end the reliance on food banks, to lift people up from nearly a decade of austerity and to protect and invest in our public services.

It's an easy choice.
Vote Labour.
The Conservative party is currently led by someone who has published innumerable articles filled with racist, bigoted, homophobic language, and has voted through policies that have caused untold misery for millions of people, and is standing on a manifesto that promises to continue that misery... Child poverty WILL rise if the Tories get back in.
So, it's that versus someone who, throughout their career has stood on picket lines and marched with those facing the kind of oppression the Tories support, who quietly volunteers in homeless shelters, and who is standing on a manifesto pledging to give everyone a right to food, will set up an emergency fund this winter to support the homeless, and wants to end homelessness in a parliamentary term. Not to mention the positive policies focusing on the environment, social care, mental health, equality, the NHS, it goes on and on.
That anyone might find this a difficult choice, that anyone might be voting Conservative is a sign of how wretched our media and society has become, the failure of our broadcasters to create a clear picture of what is going on in this country, why, and then holding those responsible to account is shameful. This election has proved that to be beyond a tinfoil hat conspiracy, but this election is your chance to do something about it.
Vote for hope, vote for better, vote Labour.

Kind of hard to see (was tricky to get a good shot), but four Labour stakes all in a row here. What a wonderful street to live on!
As we approach Christmas I've started watching some festive films, and today's choice Scrooged really hammered home the choice people face at this election.
Obviously a riff on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the journey of Scrooge (Frank in Scrooged) is not necessarily a literal one, it's merely a simple allegory for somebody reflecting on their past, present and thinking toward the future and deciding what kind of person they want to be, and what kind of society they want to build.
It seems so easy in Dickens' tale to pick the side that wants to care for those in need, wants to end homelessness, make sure everyone has a right to food, a warm place to live, you know, ideas for the many... And it is easy, it's a choice, simple as that. A choice you can make on December 12th by voting Labour and making sure the cruelty of Tory austerity is confined to the dustbin of history, and a better, fairer future can be worked towards.

Double whammy of Labour posters, one featuring a shot of our local Labour candidate Ruth George. So a big thumbs up is well deserved for the good folks who reside here.

Big ol' thumbs up to this house and its stake and poster, good work! Always puts a smile on my face seeing new Labour stuff around town as I amble around.
Today I took my four month old for a early afternoon walk, he's not had a good few days, and we had to call an ambulance for him last night. He's fine now, seems to be over the worst if the nurse is right.
But it was a timely reminder of what we're fighting for. My partner was sat in a crowded hospital with him, doctors and nurses tending to patients spilling into the corridors, yet made my partner feel like our boy was such a priority for them. And the paramedics who came were friendly and reassuring. Basically our NHS is amazing.
But it IS at risk from a Tory government, it's been underfunded, staff have been demotivated, services have been outsourced and privatised and that will continue, and ramp up, if the Tories get into power again.
The total privatisation of the NHS won't happen suddenly, it'll happen quietly, in meeting rooms, and then - seemingly overnight - that ambulance ride that cost us nothing yesterday will be around £170 - £1700 as it is in the US.
We have to save our NHS, we have to put money back into it, healthcare should be free for everyone, everywhere.
So, please vote Labour on December 12th. Thank you.
