Ok, I’m applying for a 16-25 railcard for my son. It requires a photo. It requires PROOF OF ID to get one.

Tell me again why a 16-25 railcard isn’t valid ID to vote but all of these are??

I’ve signed this petition on just this issue! 👇🏼
This is the crux of the issue

Your information is on the electoral roll. They have your personal details and know you’re eligible

Showing ID at the polling station should be simply a case of showing your name, and photo on the ID match your actual face and name on their list

What a day for the #BBC yesterday

Lost all their #MOTD presenters after @GaryLineker wouldn’t apologise for criticising the government (read that again!😱)

And while that was obviously the big story, their bad day didn’t end there….

1/7
They announced they’d wouldn’t be airing the final episode of the latest #Attenborough series on TV for fear of a “Right Wing backlash”

WTF?

It will go out on iPlayer where the poor snowflakes won’t see it….

2/7
Then we had the statement about why #FionaBruce felt the need to clarify it was a “one off” when #stanleyjohnson put his wife in hospital😱

Yes, she was quoting one of their friends and not expressing her own opinion, but of all the things to ensure they clarified..?

I don’t know if anyone has seen the pernicious claim flying round social media in the last few days that only “17,000 people in the UK have died from #covid”

I’ve yet to see anyone debunk it so I thought I’d do a 🧵

1/
Recently, I saw a number of people making the same, obviously false claim along the lines of “only 10% of covid deaths are actually covid deaths”

I asked for sources repeatedly and eventually got sent a link to an @ONS Freedom of Information request…

2/
ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transp…

The ONS were asked for the numbers of people who had died from covid, but had no other underlying conditions.

The answer came back as ~17,000.

So does that mean the other 150,000 didn’t die of covid??

No - of course it doesn’t.

OK, I'm really struggling with the uproar over @Keir_Starmer saying we need to #MakeBrexitWork.

#Brexit has happened. There is no magic wand we can wave to make it simply vanish in a puff of smoke. We can't just return to 2016 and all live happily ever after...

1/
The path to Rejoining the EU will take 5-20 years (depending on your optimism levels😜) and will necessitate multiple steps bringing us closer to the EU both in terms of standards/trading/economy and also values/attitudes/democracy.

The EU didn't chose Brexit.

2/
Yet the EU has spent 5 years (and counting) expending vast amounts of political energy dealing with Brexit. Every EU country has spent time and money preparing for the changes that Brexit has thrust upon them.

We will need EVERY one of them to allow us to Rejoin

I'm going to start by saying:

I'm not a Farmer
I voted remain
I have campaigned passionately to Remain
I am gutted and angry that we have left

But my eyes have been well and truly opened to the attitudes of many people whom I have campaigned alongside previously....

1/
I got involved in a campaign, #SaveBritishFarming, to try and protect our high food standards (after the govt U-turn) and push for an EU trade deal to try and protect our food industry.

Protecting our food supply felt like a mission we could all get behind.....

2/
But the comments and attitudes of many Remainers on twitter have really shocked me.

They seem to lay the Brexit blame solely at the farmers' door.

So as a Remainer, who likes facts over beliefs I wanted to take a closer look...
