Hail and thunder right now.

So after all the anticipation for the #LocalElections, the fear and hope, and the ongoing upheaval elsewhere, #Cheltenham just goes "nope, almost exactly the same as before" (massive LD majority and a handful of Green)...

...Except the one ward where I leafleted for the Greens, which went from LD to Reform.

FFS.

Cut, trimmed, pulled and generally tidied up. Is it time for food yet?
