Met with Polly Billington

BOVF Vice Chair, Lloyd Hobbard-Mitchell met with the Labour candidate for Thanet East, Polly Billington, at her campaign office.


Polly was very receptive of the issues of British Overseas Voters being campaigned for by the #BOVF

We finished the conversation, confirming that we would meet up after the election to put more flesh on the bones.

Polly will also be sending me a more formal statement confirming her position which I will be able to share.

If you are not aware of the issues, they are;

  • UnjustFrozen Pensions
  • Unfair Overseas Uni Fees for British students studying in the UK
  • Harsh Spousal Reunion rules
  • Right to a British bank account
  • Discriminatory Housing Loan interest
  • Using Embassies as polling stations
