Good luck with the election, you can count on my vote. JC4PM
All the best to you Andy, you got my vote for sure. Good luck with the election and ride safe.
I am very conflicted. I would love Labour to win the general election but don’t think Labour can win locally and really don’t want Conservatives here. I like Tessa Munt as a person and visited her for advice a couple of times when she was our MP. Can you persuade me that my vote for Labour matters here?
