The guy seems well-intentioned, but he's literally tweeting about how his "polling" (where he rang a bunch of his mates and posted on FB) is more representative than actual national pollsters. Either he's trolling or you are (probably both?)

he's obviously trolling. (CorbynFan, not Pissflaps. Pissflaps is a good lad who means well and only posts earnestly.)

if I were running the Britain Elects account, I would retweet this for the bantz.

I really loving hate that oval office. I don't have anything more meaningful to add (apart from his voting for wars and against gay marriage and for controls on abortion etc) but I really would like to just kick his cunty head in.

Of course I'm to civilised to actually do it so he gets to carry on murdering people and being a oval office.

Its a dilemma.

i'm not from the UK but i tried to convince a guy who acknowledges that the tories are assholes and loving up public services to vote labour but apparently his hatred of "student politics" precludes him from doing so and he's going to vote conservative anyway. the "austerity is tough but necessary" self flagellation mentality seems very prevalent too

Expected better from the Vale of Glamorgan but then we have Alun Cairns and he's a oval office who looks like he's been left in the test tube for too long.

Voted at about 9:30 here. Somewhat concerned as Labour only had a 650 vote lead last time, the area voted massively for UKIP then and Brexit last year, and the MP voted against Article 50. :derp:

Voted in Croydon before work. Narrow Tory win last time and the place is covered in unofficial Labour/anti-Tory posters. I think the only Conservative ones are in an empty office building, where someone has put one in almost every window.

At the time of registering I wasn’t a British citizen, and previously on the form you had to indicate whether you are in order to be able to vote in the GE.

I got my actual naturalisation certificate the day after registration closed. Even the council mayor made a point during the ceremony how most of us probably didn’t fit the timeline to register.

Ashcroft thinks Caroline Lucas is losing her seat?

Also, jBrereton, you asked a while back if you were running in Stoke Central again. You've apparently been replaced by a Jellyman.
Looking at the time, being only two hours after the polls opened, it's hardly set in stone. Could easily swing once the at-work crowd finish in the evening.

Not even that, they poll with popup adds in other apps.

PROGRAMMATIC SAMPLING

We intercept smartphone users while they use their usual apps by inviting them to take a short survey without leaving the app they are in. We do this by programmatically buying in-app ad space across 50,000 apps, showing an engaging question instead of a banner ad. Curious users who answer this initial question will be invited to answer more questions in a full-size survey interface.

Sociologists pretty much called this election in the 90's, which is nice.

Unfortunately the only spectre haunting the UK is the spectre of detraditionalisation.

CorbynFan is a parody account for those wry, savvy, centrists have a good old chuckle to. Working overtime since the poll surge. At least it's better than the fake Momentum accounts.

They will never construct anything as good as Simon Hedges.

The Sun’s front page assault on Jeremy Corbyn and its warning to readers not to chuck Britain in the “Cor-bin” has prompted a “bin the Sun” backlash.

Some have taken to Twitter to urge their followers to buy up copies of the paper and then chuck them out (in paper recycling bins).
