UKGE2024 – Beasley's Place

Voter ID was invented by the Conservatives as part of their drive to disenfranchise as many parts of society that they could think of for a problem that really did not exisit. But that’s for another post.

What is essential is that you get some form of Voter ID as soon as possible. There is a list of what is considered to be valid Voter ID which can be found on the Electoral Commission site. Valid Voter ID’s include your UK Passport, your UK Driving License, your London Oyster Photocard to name a few.

A full list of valid Voter ID forms can be found on the Electoral Commission site.

If you don’t have any of the listed items, you can apply online for a Voter Authority Certificate, but you must also Register to Vote online (deadline is 11:59pm on 18 June 2024) before you can obtain a Voter Authority Certificate (deadline is 5pm on Wednesday 26 June).

Sadly, it seems that Student ID cards are still not able to be used as an Election Voter ID’s; nor are the recently issued Veterans ID card despite a number of Conservative politicians saying it would; there’s a surprise!

Get your Voter ID now!!

A bit behind with my blogging, again!

However, here’s a subject to wakes us all up!! So a lot is being talked about at the moment on what all the major parties will do for ‘us’ to win our votes in the up-coming General Election. There have been quite a few items on various media channels about how the state of the economy has been handled over the past 14 years under the various past Tory Governments.

One of the best reports that I recently ‘tripped’ over via Twitter, or should say X was from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. They have produced a report consisting of 13 graphs that show just what has happened under past Conservative Government control over the past 14 years, they explain a lot about why the UK is in the mess it in. You can also download the whole report here.

But here are the graphs for a quick peruse now.
