I’m not convinced that 2019 is simply a repeat of 2017. And I’d be surprised to say the least to hear anything negative from campaigners - they’re generally positive, that’s why they’re out there regardless of party.
Polls leading up to the 2017 election:

But it’s clearly more complicated than that. You’re voting for your mp, not for the leader of their party - who may well change during the course of Parliament. The party is democratically elected, the pm (in the context of the country as a whole) is not directly democratically elected.
Anyway the fact is that they could hold a change of leader as a condition of entering a coalition.

I’ve got a couple of pairs to wear under tights; they’re fine

Nah - i lied. After picking myself up and trying to work out what happened, I found the culprit so stuck the wheel in and took the picture

Front tyre into a narrow tramline-like pothole sending me swinging in the side of a black cab and then onto the tarmac tonight.
Luckily no major damage - elbow scraped up, but the Kevlar stitching they put in the last time I came off seems to have done its job... Hole in 2-day old glove and small rip in my well used alpha jacket. My lid made a very loud cracking sound when it hit, so that needs replacing too. Bike seems fine.
Driver behind was very helpful and the taxi stopped to check I was ok.
Edit - dunno why it’s upside down, but here’s an action shot of the wheel in the hole the fraction of a second before I fall off

Decathlon are worth a look - I’ve a couple of long sleeved medium weight tops I use in cold weather, and the stuff is cheap enough that you can buy without risk (7.99 as opposed to 79.99)
Think Phil posted a page up on this - you tend to be much warmer and out for shorter times when running compared to cycling, so different rules apply. No need for layers, little need for insulation or waterproofness. I find gloves useful - again decathlon do some very light running gloves for a couple of quid that work at freezing temps

I take it back, having just googled "cracked romin saddle" it looks like that its a thing
I'll contact spesh and see what I get

No chance - if I was very lucky I'd get a 10-20% off a replacement.

The ride home yesterday was extra comfy with extra springiness. Wasnt obvious to start with as the saddle covering is still holding it all together.
Bit disappointing though - its maybe 5 years old but there's been no acute damage and I'm no heavyweight, so this is just through normal use.
you make it sound like you only have one pair of running shoes, which is plainly ridiculous
