This is an offensive, dangerous and stupid remark in the context of the democratic West Mids mayoral election. Hope you’ll name the culprit so that the Labour Party can take action against them

Quite something when former PM Boris Johnson - who introduced voter ID requirement - is turned away from his polling station after forgetting to bring his 🤦. Sky News

Veterans turned away from polling stations because they can’t use their veterans ID card to vote is a testament to how the Tories like to talk up their support for our forces but are failing to deliver.

Today Stephen Doughty MP raised this issue in the Commons:

Nigel Lawson warned it would mean double taxation on pensioners with retirees losing out.

The simple truth is pensioners will pay the price of Rishi Sunak’s £46 billion unfunded bombshell.

What’s the penalty for wasting police time these days?

When is an ID card not an ID card? When it’s introduced by Office for Veterans’ Affairs. We need fewer slogans and more attention to detail.

I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections.

I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID.

I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧

It’s time for a fresh start.

An internationally brokered ceasefire-deal is on the table. Hamas should accept this deal. We need an immediate ceasefire to avert a catastrophic continuation of this war.

In Parliament today 👇🏿

Happy to accept your claim. I’ll add FA administrator & adjudicator to his other remarkable roles. Funny I thought such decisions were supposed to be free from political interference

Great to be out in Harborne today campaigning for Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 to be the next West Midlands Mayor.

Richard is a great community champion & will deliver the change the West Mids needs.

#VoteLabour on May 2nd to send a message to Rishi Sunak & the Tories that their time is up🌹

Given the number of claims made in last few weeks he can’t possibly just be running for mayor, surely he’s auditioning for superman or is it Walter Mitty?

I have a plan for the West Midlands and a record of bringing in investment.

Our region has been left behind for too long. We need a fresh start.

I acknowledge your view. I’d say it misrepresents a longstanding Tory with poor delivery record who’s embraced that ideology for over 40 years. I want mayor in tune with values & priorities of an incoming Labour govt, ready to work in harmony with us.

If a memorial to the 6 million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered during the Holocaust has to be covered up, out of fear it will be desecrated, this should serve as a warning. Many Holocaust survivors rebuilt their lives here cherishing shared values of freedom,…

Unfortunately too many people and commentators are unwilling to accept such a rational political view. They always prefer to focus on things that can’t be achieved rather than what can
