Tories ‘neglected’ calling on people to register to vote

THE Tories faced accusations yesterday of neglecting the opportunity to call on people to register to vote in the election in the run-up to the deadline earlier this week, new analysis has revealed.

Labour’s popularity on social media has soared as voters seek an alternative to the mainstream media that has often been hostile to leader Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters, the Press Association study also found.

Mr Corbyn’s most popular message since the Tories unveiled their unpopular and uncosted manifesto on Monday May 22 — the deadline day to register — said: “[His team] looked through Theresa May and the Conservatives’ Facebook and Twitter pages, and they have not put out a single message encouraging people to register to vote.”
