“[UK FarRight ‘limited company/ political party’ - my edit] Reform UK accused of ‘nil vetting’ as another racist candidate exposed”
by Willem Moore in The Canary

@uk_politics“Brett Muscroft is Reform UK’s candidate in Castleford Central & Glasshoughton, Wakefield.
He shows clearly that Reform UK’s vetting is nil for this coming local elections.
His posts on #Islam, his support of Tommy #Robinson, Enoch #Powell and posting far-right and #racist content shows exactly and many Reform UK candidates views are”

For most of my life, voting in UK elections has mostly been restricted to voting on Thursdays of the election in a local voting booth. Postal voting was introduced in 2001, making it easier to take part in democracy.
I'm excited to be living in an area which is part of a new pilot for the upcoming local elections, which will allow people to vote in person on the *Saturday* or *Sunday* before the election.
It feels odd that it has taken so long to make it much easier for people to vote in person on a typical 'non-work day'.
Really hope that the pilot is successful and more people engage in the democratic process as a result.

This is the choice for the British people as we head to #MayElections
Vote for Russia funded Reform UK to build hatred in the country
OR
Vote #Green for genuine change and to be able to fight the facists and take out the threat -
The Texas House is considering a bill to abolish May elections, which have the lowest turnout of any election.

Some parties want to 'reform' more than just policy. Read the fine print

If #surrey #countyCouncil is not still blue after the #mayElections then the sky really has fallen on the heads of the #toriesOut
Somehow I doubt that there will be any upset - you get to keep your #potholes -
#reesMogg has about 18 months left to do any damage - lord knows his party have done more than enough already to earn the accolade of worst post-war govt of any party - it will take multiple parliaments to undo their self-serving nonsense. My bet is his idiotic bill will not survive in any meaningful form - the #toriesOut must be into damage limitation once the #mayElections wreck their hold on councils

@paultempleman Exactly. It's all about disenfranchisement. The kind guys over at Citizen Card https://mas.to/@johnc10uk/109313792583172385 are offering free IDs but for people like me who never married, don't drive, & have an expired passport going through the whole finding a referee hassle is such a pain. I'll stick with postal votes and hope the rules don't change too much for that!
