Tiktok Rebuttal of the Day:

'16-year-olds are too impressionable to be given the vote.' #votesat16

3 teams out this afternoon.

Most significant conversation I had today was with a 17yr old who’s studying politics.

Such a shame that 16/17 yr olds can’t vote.

As a former youth worker I was involved in the campaign for #VotesAt16 , & here we are, ten years later, still waiting!

Tonight I attended the APPG on Votes at 16 with some of our Westminster Youth Council members. I shared concerns over the Government’s Voter ID plans and it was great to hear lots of enthusiasm for #VotesAt16 #BeSeenBeHeard

If young people are old enough to pay tax, they should have a say in how that money is spent. It really is that simple. #VotesAt16

Nice to hear Keir Starmer express his passion for #votesat16 in his new year speech just now

My best memory with the British Youth Council (BYC) was when I was involved with the Votes at 16 Campaign YAG (youth action group) where I was privileged to talk to others about the importance of getting young people involved in the democracy.

What’s your Best Memory of BYC? #SaveBYC

these are just some of my favourite moments from 2023, campaigning with Labour Students, advocating for Votes at 16 Campaign with the British Youth Council and attending conferences, to use my voice to speak on the issues affecting young people in the UK.

Here’s to 2024 🌹

Rorey Scriven BCyA Give An X Votes at 16 Campaign Andy Burnham delighted! as a leigh girl who’s chaired this campaign it’s great to see progress within local government focusing on such motions 💪🏼✨

Seeing as #Labour is mulling lowering the UK #voting age to 16, here are a few slides from my schools presentation on the pros and cons...

(⚠️ spoiler alert - there are good arguments on both sides, but on balance I'd stick at 18)

First, the position today... (1/6)
