Labour can't win

[verdantverdure]

Unless absolutely SHEDLOADS of people who voted Conservative in 2019 vote Labour this time.

That's right, isn't it?

That's just perfect. The Tories brought in voter ID expecting it to stop Labour voters from voting. Loving that it backfired on them.

It’s not clear that it did backfire. Are we looking at the same article?

I read somewhere that it did backfire because young people have id - course they do, they need it to get into pubs and buy booze - and it’s older people, much older people, the core Tory vote, who don’t always have id.

Even before the general election, Jacob Rees-Mogg seemed to think it had backfired. The article linked above suggests it disproportionately affected ethnic minorities.
I think over all it probably provoked suspicion and distrust but it’s not clear what effect it might have had on any particular seats.
