From today, employers must pass on all tips to their workers. This is because of a new law known as the ‘Tipping Act’.

What you need to know for polling day:

❗ Don’t forget to bring photo ID

✅ Don’t worry if your ID is out of date. You can use out of date photo ID, if it still looks like you and the name is the same as the one you used when you registered to vote.

[CitizensAdvice @CitizensAdvice]

❗ Bringing your polling card when you vote on 4 July can speed up the process, but you don’t have to take it with you.

The poll clerks at the desk have a list of the people who can vote at that polling station and can look your name up.

We’ve done the maths, Universal Credit doesn’t add up! ❌

At £91 a week, the basic rate of Universal Credit isn't enough to cover the cost of the essentials.

And you can see for yourself. Add up your weekly essentials in our shopping basket 👉 https://t.co/KgFm3XJ7LT

It’s not right that the cost of photo ID can stop people from voting.

BUT you can apply for a free version – a Voter Authority Certificate. You just need to do it soon!

Apply by 5pm on 26 June 👉 https://t.co/q9ZzAApqGn
