We’re all ready to vote tomorrow. It’s not far to go – the polling station is the Community Centre just round the corner from our house. I’ve never felt quite so depressed about an election as this one – all the party leaders seem to be hopeless, so it’s a case of the least worst option! And the opinion polls seem to make a Boris government almost inevitable, which is definitely the most worst option. Oxford East is a safe Labour seat, so my adding to their majority won’t change anything, but at least I’ll have registered my despair with the Tory schoolboys and their sense of entitlement.
Everything is in a mess. Why can’t Corbyn get a grip on antisemitism? We all know he isn’t racist, but he needs to make more of the right noises about stamping it out – even when he knows it isn’t nearly as bad in the Labour Party as in society as a whole. Can’t he see that’s not the point? Boris, of course, is still promising the earth and claiming that there won’t be any barriers down the Irish Sea, even though that was the whole point of his new Brexit deal. Listening to the radio the other day, I found myself thinking that Arleen Foster of the DUP was making a lot of sense – incredible!
