| Quote: |  | | | If you are poor (and therefore traditionally less likely to be a Conservative voter, rather than say Labour) then there is a higher chance you won't have photo ID, as you don't go abroad (Passport) or own a car (Driver's Licence). | | | | | And how do you claim benefits? Surely they don’t take people’s word for it?

There will be no Brexit deal this week, EU member states tell pro-EU MPs https://twitter.com/TheNewEuropean/s...31498080395265
A cross-party delegation of pro-EU MPs - which included Dominic Grieve, David Lammy, Vince Cable and Caroline Lucas - have heard from EU member state representatives how there will be no agreement on a Brexit deal this week.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Real answer is, I believe, they are linked to national insurance number and a unique government gateway ID. I imagine an initial face to face meeting is also likely. Same as child benefit i think. That's mostly done online or over the phone.

Quite frankly, anyone who can't see any insistence on photo ID for voters as a classic example of Tory gerrymandering must either be a bit thick or have a vested interest in seeing the Tories stay in power.
Or, of course, both.

The DUP says no. I guess there goes the wish of Boris and co of blaming the no-deal and the resulting chaos on the EU to gather support for his populist ideology.

Is that so?
Because reaching deals has not been the problem, getting them through at home is.  | | This user would like to thank curley for this useful post: | |
