@KemiBadenoch made this claim about @UKLabour's Autumn Budget. This isn't correct.

What appears to be a BBC article claiming that @RachelReevesMP is offering people the chance to get up to £2,300 a month back in dividends from invested taxes (if they pay £200) is being shared online.

But neither the article nor the scheme is real.

The entire £1.90 rail ticket mistake story is ridiculous, but this response from Northern is almost as frustrating as the story itself and captures the all too common “computer says no”, zero empathy response that leads to people thinking the system is rigged against them.

A post being shared online claims that there are 1.6 million asylum seekers receiving “long term benefits”.

This is false.

Works out at roughly 600 voters per English, Welsh and Scottish constituency turned away because of ID problems. Might not sound like much until you factor in that there were 20 MPs elected with majorities of under 500. The VoterID Law is not fit for purpose.

I don't get to vote in this election, but I do have to live with whoever you elect.
No pressure. #GeneralElection24

The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024
