....and that's why Starmer won't undo them. He doesn't want 'that sort' to have a voice, because it won't be positive of him.

UK voter ID laws attack ‘democratic rights of people of colour’, say artists in open letter

Exclusive: Lenny Henry, Anish Kapoor and Marianne Jean-Baptiste among those calling for Keir Starmer to scrap rules

The Guardian

For those of us still fighting #COVID19 rather than surrendering to it, the report highlights how we were victimised with #VotingID

Will anything be done about it?
Of course not, this is Britain, a 'report' is as far as anything goes. You won't do your career any good rocking that boat.....

#Starmer is such a weak, non-entity.
Five years of this coward as PM?

Like #Brexit, everyone in the UK will moan about the #VotingID requirements but nobody will stop it, nobody will do anything about all the problems today and when the next PM gets in, nobody will make him undo it and for some reason his word is final?

Because of course, it’s the tories last roll of the dice. Limit the damage by limiting the vote, do not let these bastards corrupt our democracy any further. You can write to your MP or sign one of the many petitions, I suggest a petition addressed to the Labour Party / Starmer as they’ll be in power soon

What photo ID will you need to vote in the local elections?

I am also glad to see universities actively pushing back on these clear acts of #votersuppression, but I hope they also lead the way in educating their students on these laws and how they impact them. In my research on the #2020USElection, universities rarely brought up #votingID laws and #votingrights in their e-mails to students. https://doi.org/10.1080/27671127.2023.2179518
“Mask up. Pony up. Vote.” Examining university e-mails surrounding the 2020 US elections

The climate surrounding the 2020 US elections was tumultuous – from the hyperpartisan elections themselves, to a pandemic, to a national reckoning on race. Within this turmoil, many college student...

@KateCelyn I’ll drink to all that! I feel as if I’m on my own drawing attention to the Voting ID scandal. It’s good to see someone else mentioning it! #VotingID
@marcelias I hope you are watching Ohio’s Republicans speeding 2 different election laws thru this week. #votingrights #votingid #votingsuppression
