The postal votes are landing, and people in the key battleground seat of Hastings & Rye are deciding how to vote. One fifth of votes are by post. I headed over to Hastings to help get out the Labour postal vote. The sun was shining on the seafront, and hand delivering named and addressed envelopes was hot work. Afterwards, I got the train back to Hampden Park to walk about the shopping area and take the temperature. The local businesses are struggling, and Labour’s plans to help retailers will help.
