At the risk of upsetting the perpetual forum malcontent by quoting a link to the BBC, it appears that British expats now have their voting rights restored.

The way I see it, exercise your voting rights and don't gurn too much about the job the Commies are doing. Dealing with afterbirths is always a bit messy, large Tory ones especially.
Vote wisely.

Re: Vote wisely.
Pretty useless here in Thailand. i did ask for a postal ballot once - it arrived 5 days after the election......
Only any good if you can use a proxy vote - but it has to be for the constituency you last voted in. Good luck with finding someone you trust.

Since any UK government-issued mail, national or local, will automatically be sent by metered mail regardless of what the destination address is, one does need to use either a relative, friend or otherwise arrange a mail-forwarding service. Same for bank, tax, proof of life stuff from HMRC. However, in my experience, depending on how in-touch some local council office staff are, getting them to use air-mail for vote-related stuff is possible.
Have you had issues of trust being abused by friends or family back in the UK?

Re: Vote wisely.
When I registered to vote some time between the SNP referendum and Brexit, I had never voted in Scotland where I came of voting age and my last-known UK address so I registered where my sister was living in England. All initiated online and confirmed with follow-up via email. I have recently changed address in England, done online, via email with regular mail confirmation. Changing my doctor was more of a ball ache, walk-in, hand-filled forms for signing off and signing on.

Tam, I loved it. George has meanwhile given both Tories and Labour a good hiding in Rochdale. That is what happens when you ignore the public.

Galloway, the thinking man's Corbyn.
...or Farage.
Certainly a coup for the increasing amount of Brits that consider "none of the above" when faced with yet another ballot.
By saying, "Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak are two cheeks of the same backside and they both got well and truly spanked tonight", Galloway invoked a saying that my father frequently used to describe the ritual choice between Conservative or Labour at election time in Scotland.
Reform UK got their arses handed to them as well but what on earth were they thinking when they chose Danczuk as their candidate? Galloway may have cynically hijacked blowback from the Israel-Hamas conflict to get his "win" but nobody wants an MP who thinks that it's OK to chat inappropriately with your underage daughter either, do they?
