    0 DAYS TO GO - We can do this!

    It’s Election Day. Polling has dramatically improved for Labour thanks to your hard work. This is the LAST PUSH to get everyone you know (and don’t know!) out to the polling station. We’re going to attempt some more of these smaller updates through the day, so come back later!

    1 DAYS TO GO - THE LAST LAP

    It’s 1 days until Election Day. The latest polling shows a hung parliament is now in the margin of error. If you can take tomorrow off, there’s plenty of campaigning and helping to do to get voters to the polling booths. Everyone doing something will make an impact.

    3 DAYS TO GO - Itchen for the win

    It’s 3 days until Election Day. Owen’s been down to Southampton Itchen and found Keir Starmer and Laura Parker on his travels. “I don’t think there’s any such thing as a Brexit election, in the end, all elections are general… they’re about everything"

    5 DAYS TO GO - Final debate

    It’s 5 days until Election Day. Owen’s having a post debate party with Frankie Boyle, Michael Seglov and… SHE’S BACK… Ellie Mae O’Hagan. All in a flat in "Liberal Bubble". Is integrity holding JC back? Did he need to get personal? Why does anyone trust Boris Johnson? Will it be enough?

Solidarity!

Owen - you’re a star! Following this from South Korea. Voting by proxy next week, and currently writing to Facebook friends attempting to persuade them to vote Labour / tactically.

Such a good podcast!

Owen is one of the best voices on the left. As a yank with an interest in U.K. politics, I’ve loved this cast since Owen doesn’t get too far down in the technical British political weeds. Been fun to listen to. I hope he continues podcasting after the election!
