More than three councils @TowerHamletsNow didn't send mine (to Australia) until May 20th judging by the post mark @guardian

@ChukaUmunna Equally scandalous for overseas voters. My postal vote was not *despatched* to Australia until 20th May, arriving on the 22nd. Not a chance it will be back in time!
@mr_lewandowski@ElectoralCommUK I received my postal vote in Australia on the 22nd May and the post mark indicates it was posted on the 20th. How would that have even been possible to return if I was in the UK, let alone Australia.
Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47
Never travel with @Qantas and @JAL_Official_jp from Tokyo to Sydney via Shanghai! Wouldn't check our bags through and forced us to clear Chinese immigration and obtain visas. Terrible service. Inbound flight early but 30 people almost missed the connection!
@Qantas Pretty unhelpful response in DM @Qantas , @JAL_Official_jp . @chinaeasternair and @airfrance don't require a transit visa. Why do you? As mentioned if I hadn't personally made a fuss at immigration 30+ people could have missed their connection
Only after I had to personally make an appeal to Chinese immigration did they start processing visas quickly enough to get us through. @qantas shouldn't sell the ticket if they can't provide a proper service!
Huge ramifications for London if Theresa May has conceded that it's possible for part of the UK to remain within the single market & customs union after Brexit. Londoners overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU and a similar deal here could protect tens of thousands of jobs.
