JUST IN FROM LEEDS: We just witnessed a non binary person in their 20s turned away because they "didn't look like their ID" It was HORRIBLE to see. This is the first time these laws have been in place at a General Election and the impact becoming clear.

I can't believe I'm writing this. I flew home early to the UK to vote for a better future for my son, but I was turned away at the polling station. I brought a copy of my passport because mine is being renewed. I don’t have a driving license or other forms of ID because I’ve

🚨BREAKING: new research shows 400k people were stopped from voting in the election due to voter ID laws. 850k people were turned away at least once. Ethnic minorities were more than 2.5 TIMES more likely to be turned away than white voters. Shocking.

I hate the fact that I have to produce id to vote. Between 2019 and 2013 there were just 11 convictions and 4 cautions for voter fraud. It's not a problem. Yet here we are - demanding proof the young and poor are less likely to have. It's Windrush at the polls.

@MikeHolden42 @BenSmit07650631 @bahookey4 @grantshapps It totally is - just ask @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests requiring photo ID to vote was attempt to 'gerrymander' which 'came back...

The government has consistently denied that the reforms were an attempt to help Conservative support in elections, but Mr Rees-Mogg's remarks suggest this is not necessarily the case.

Voter ID rules are racist – let’s get rid of them once and for all

Voter ID is a modern-day form of voter suppression, dressed up as a solution to a problem that the UK doesn’t have.
