Earlier this month, Labour hinted it might be drawing up plans for an early general election as it rushed to abolish photo ID checks at polling stations.The Prime Minister said last month that he wanted to “draw a line” under recent political divisions and avoid calling a general election.But as he gets his feet further under the table at Downing Street, some have suggested that Mr Burnham might want to free himself from the constraints of a manifesto he did not write.The Telegraph reported that Labour was “ramming through” reforms that would allow voters to use bank cards without photographs instead of valid photo ID at polling stations.Ministers confirmed that the bank cards would only need to show the holder’s initials, not their full name, and would not even need to display the owner’s gender.Wes Streeting told Camilla Tominey a few weeks ago that the move formed part of Labour’s plans to “make our elections fairer”.He told Ms Tominey that ministers were seeking to establish whether voter photo ID rules had led to the “unintended consequences of legitimate voters being disenfranchised”.
