As of right now you've got about twelve hours. Please register. Even if politics doesn't affect you much, it affects people like me and my mum hugely.

We know what it's like to be on the sharp end of Tory policies. You have the power to change that. 1/

It affects people who face horrible assessments like my mum had to go through. It affects EU citizens - @the3million - who are worried at what another Tory government might do to anyone "foreign".

That latter group? They don't even get a vote in this one, so please use yours. 2/

Maybe politics doesn't affect you much, but it will affect someone you know.

Vote for your friends' sakes. Vote for the people who are hurt, who are disenfranchised, who are denied a voice even though this will affect them much more than most. 3/

I've already gotten my polling card, so if you've not had yours yet, make sure you're registered. If you know you're not, please change that.

This election is incredibly important. It's not just figures on a sheet and abstract statistics - this will determine people's lives. 4/

So please, I'm literally begging you, register to vote and make sure you use it. For those that most need you to, please do this.

Addendum: It's not just UK citizens who are eligible for this election.

If you're an Irish citizen in the UK, you can register. If you're from a qualifying Commonwealth country, you're eligible too.

This is important. We're at a crisis point. So please do this.
