The Lib Dem MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, and a minister at the Department for International Development, Lynne Featherstone, has announced on Twitter that the polls are opening today – for the local elections on Thursday.

You know what they say: vote two days early, vote often.

*** UPDATE ***

Featherstone’s deleted the tweet, but here it is captured by Politwoops:
