As people outside the Mercure chant that refugees are welcome here, protesters on the other side of the road advise them to fuck off. “Go home and take your hate away,” sing the human shield in response.

And finally I chose a Welsh constituency that I thought at the time would give the Conservatives a safe haven and keep them competitive. I didn't bet on #Gamblegate and chose #MontgomeryshireAndGlyndwr and every MRP is now saying it'll be Labour: https://t.co/boUGGE3KL0+

I had to put in a scalp to tempt Labour players: Jacob Rees-Mogg's #SomersetNorthEastandHanham which only one MRP is calling for the blues:

More contentiously, #UxbridgeandSouthRuislip - which the Conservatives infamously held in the post-Boris by-election. Surprisingly perhaps, given that ULEZ-influenced result, it looks to be a Labour gain today: https://t.co/lbbDxdwIIi

I didn't want every seat to be a Conservative incumbency, so I added #StocktonNorth as a wildcard that the Tories could maybe win if the Red Wall didn't go back as enthusiastically as expected. MRPs are unanimous in Labour hold...

Scotland seemed the only place where the Tories might make an almost accidental gain amidst the decline of the SNP. So I picked #MoraywestNairnandStrathspey. It looks like the MRPs are all calling it for the SNP however...

It's fantastic that a game designer is standing in Moray West... which is one of the five seats in the game I designed for this election!
For the last time, I'm standing to me your MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey I want to put your local priorities first A great final day campaigning in Nairn and Auldearn, brilliant to see so many people lending us their support Please make sure to vote tomorrow!

I spoke to Joe from the What If Games blog about designing Poll & Write 2024 in the midst of an election campaign. I really enjoyed this conversation and it turned into something of a design diary. Have a read! https://t.co/JTWbf9GFcQ
