UK sweethearts, are you all registered to vote? If not, link is in our bio. It takes 2 minutes and it's really important that we all contribute to this decision and don't let other people do it for us: bad politicians are elected by good people who don't bother to vote!! Let's also all read the exciting yet responsible manifesto released yesterday by the Labour Party, which promises a fairer Britain, run for the many not the few. (See a condensed version on our twitter page). This isn't a second Brexit referendum. It's a General Election. That means 650 MPs making and scrapping laws for the next 4-5 years. And voting on poverty. The environment. Welfare reform. Democracy. Tax. Austerity. Education. War. Immigration. Aid. Energy. Transport. Public services. If anyone wants to discuss, please DM us xx #useyourvoice #registertovote #votelabour
