Amendments to allow the #The5million & 16, 17 yr olds to vote in this general election were rejected.

This is the last election where the most affected, #The5Million could have had a say in their future before they are seriously affected.

The stakes are high.

If remain lose this general election then:

 No-deal Brexit: Will hit leave-voting areas hardest

Salisbury, Sunderland and Carlisle are among the English cities where jobs would be worst hit in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to a secret government list leaked to The Sunday Times.

thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/n…

 The "official sensitive", requiring security clearance on a "need to know" basis reveals 29 of the 33 areas most vulnerable to job losses if the UK crashes out of the EU with no deal.

The 4, worst affected areas will be contained in another, higher classified document.
3/
 Only 37% of small and medium-sized enterprises have made sufficient, or any, preparations for a no-deal Brexit.

In many cases, preparation just isn't possible due to the size of the company / barriers to trade.

Moving to the EU27 would be the only viable option.

 Corbyn has called on other parties to back him in leading a caretaker govt.

"The political obstacles to Corbyn’s proposal are considerable"
Many MPs who might support the idea in theory would not want to install him in No.10 even as a caretaker PM.

 Forming a caretaker government is more complicated than just choosing a PM

If opposition parties can agree on a PM, what would need to be agreed before a caretaker government could operate?

A government with ministers
The purpose
Priorities
Policies

 Margaret Beckett was a favourite to be caretaker PM

"We cannot win a vote of no confidence if Corbyn is the candidate,"
Senior opposition MP

Talks are ongoing.

 Migration controls threaten job shock to Bristol

75% of EU27 citizens, living Bristol region would be unable to work in the UK under proposals to come into affect in 2021.

Labour & Tories voted away the #SingleMarket & FoM.

 Bristol would come to a grinding halt without our migrants.
It's affected both my doctor and dentist, both who have found it difficult to recruit when EU27 citizens leave.

This makes me so angry, even more so when most local MPs aren't interested.

 Part of the issue I think is that MPs are just not interested enough to learn.

This is my MP, making the case for using the "profit" from migrant workers to contribute to towns which haven’t benefited from economic growth.

Looking forward to giving the 2019 @theRSAorg President's lecture on #climateemergency and responses from government and business later. You can watch it here live here from about 6pm: bit.ly/2ou31Pk #RSAclimate
@theRSAorg @EnvAgency @ShareAction @GCAdaptation @WRIClimate @AdaptOurWorld @DefraGovUK @DFID_Climate @PRI_News @GRI_LSE @RSAEvents The #climateemergency needs to be at the heart of everything people do. It should not be given a cursory 10 minutes at the Board meeting before everyone gets back to “the business of business”. The climate crisis IS “the business of business”. #RSAclimate
@theRSAorg @EnvAgency @ShareAction @GCAdaptation @WRIClimate @AdaptOurWorld @DefraGovUK @DFID_Climate @PRI_News @GRI_LSE @RSAEvents The @IPCC_CH’s 1.5°C report is not only momentous because of what it says: it is a towering achievement because it managed to get scientists and government officials from forty different countries to agree on a single document. #RSAclimate

If just 30% of pro-Remain voters use their vote tactically it would prevent the Conservative Party from winning a majority at the upcoming election.

If 40% of pro-Remain voters use their vote tactically, 87 seats could swing away from the Conservatives and a coalition of Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Green and Plaid Cymru would return a majority of 36 seats.

Corbyn is about to win a MASSIVE PR boost.

@joswinson, in her rabid desperation to help the Tories limit the chance of electoral success for Labour, has pledged not to support amendments to an election Bill, because it 'needs the best chance of passing'. This is insane. 1/
What she's claiming is that parliament would be LESS likely to support a GE in which 16 & 17yr olds could vote or in which EU residents could vote. Really?! This self-mutilated, minority Tory gov cannot win a vote! BJ lost 7 out of 7 to start his premiership! 2/
If any bill passes it will be at the behest of opposition parties and independents, the vast majority of which are supposedly pro-EU.
How will the optics play out for the Lib Dems, the 'largest remain party', if they block the ability of EU residents from having a say?! 3/

You can vote in a general election in the UK if you are: 🗳

- 18 y/o or older
- a British, Irish, or “qualifying commonwealth citizen” (see next tweet)

YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER (tho it does make it easier) AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A PERMANENT ADDRESS
For the full list of “qualifying Commonwealth countries”, see here:
