Dear god I'm having flashbacks to the 2016 referendum and how that felt personally now.
Imagine an entire country suffering from PTSD.

I remember being speechless and numb. I think any photo taken of me would have carried wtaf? over my head by default.

Fuck that was awful.
I went for an early piss and saw the news on my phone and wished I hadn't. Looked at my OH asleep in the bed and genuinely envied them for not yet knowing what had happened.

I think the level of trauma that exists within the Labour Party can't be underestimated.
Their failure to win elections that they were predicted to win, or looked like they were going to win ( '92 was the big one for me) leaves big scars from deep wounds.
So yes I understand the caution, really really not wanting to fuck it up this time.
Imagine what it would feel like in the early hours of Friday morning with the dawning realisation that the tories haven't lost, that somehow that thev've got back in, how bad that would be, the hopes of a better life and a better Britain crushed.
I get the caution. Whatever it takes.
