Photo ID to vote is a flagrant cladding attack

You will need photo ID to vote in the general election this year. This won't be a problem for me personally as I have it, but many of the people where I grew up are too poor to drive or travel abroad. Many people in this country don't have valid photo ID, and they shouldn't have to to shell out a significant amount of money they likely don't have in order to cast their vote. An absolutely flagrant attack on the poor and otherwise deprived.

The title is supposed to read classist, not cladding.

Anyone who thinks this is not just a thinly veiled attempt to stop a certain group of people voting is thick as mince

Is this government not shooting itself in the foot if that’s the intention? Several posters have mentioned pensioners/elderly having difficulty. A large part of its constituent, would have thought?

It seems they are. JRM admitted it had gone wrong for them.
