2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

Before the Tory Manifesto comes out tomorrow, a reminder of the 2019 Manifesto.
Promises: 42.
Delivered: 2, and 1 of those only partially.
In addition, Tories have reneged, reversed, or abandoned 362 policies pledges and promises.
Don’t. Believe. A. Word.

@virginmedia I've tried to cancel my broadband installation online, and by phone, and now you've put me on hold while you work your way through your terrible hold music. Your customer service is awful.

Hi @PepperMoneyUK, you're repossessing a family home tomorrow from a constituent and refuse to negotiate with him or his lawyer despite him having 50%LTV and proposing several significant repayment schedules. I've taken to make this public as you are not responding. Can you help?

It is actually quite shocking that @BBCNews reports on the queues at Dover being caused by the French stamping every passport, without mentioning that this is a result of Brexit and Britain’s choice to tear up the previous reciprocal arrangements

Popped into newsagents to get @ftweekend which always has great long reads. Sadly meant catching sight of The Mail. I don’t allow the Dacre rag in the house for the same reason I wouldn’t put heroin in my veins. Read the first few sentences while I waited to pay 1/4
