2 MILLION people do not have the ID needed to vote.

But just 63,000 people had applied for a free Voter ID certificate in time for yesterday's deadline.

That's exactly what the Tories hoped would happen.

This is what voter suppression looks like.

You can post your vote back any day until polling day - but don't forget!

@HWLeeds @hannahhwl Yes this is a huge issue in Leeds. I have called 5 dentists today that all said they will take NHS patients but have a 12-24 month waiting list. Some people really need check-ups or treatment and just can't afford private care!

We’re all at home this #Christmas. Join us... with communities and neighbours in the #UK to sing together a #carol of #hope and #unity . 5pm. Christmas Eve. Stand on your doorstep or street to sing Silent Night. #ACarolTogether

Giving people seeking asylum the chance to work is the right thing to do. Fingers crossed my new MP @FabianLeedsNE will be at the debate today to ask the Government to #LiftTheBan 🤞
