@peterjukes This reminds me that Dowden, out of nowhere, it seems, told everyone to stock up with 3 day's worth of emergency essentials just days before the election. The 'Prepare' site is still live.
@theresecoffey Your government elected to release 10,000 prisoners early due to overcrowding.

This has been a l-o-n-g election.
What Labour will be like, I couldn't tell you. The wreck the Tories have left behind... *shakes head*
