The treasury just released their report, and the Tories won't be able to enact the tax cuts next quarter that they thought would be a saving grace to their election chances, atleast not without breaking their "fiscal responsibility" rules.
They're probably wishing to lose right now, in the hopes that labour won't be able to turn things around in time for the 2029 election.
Haven't bothered going in a while, as I live in a "safe" constituency held by the one party I dislike the least out of the two parties to choose from, but if I recall correctly, you only have to register with your specific polling station when you move to another residency. Although you also have to apply for a specific voting photo-ID for each election if you don't already have a driver's license or other govt-issued photoID.
Neither is an automatic process, and the only thing we get in the mail without asking for it is notification that an election is about to happen, and various adverts from each of the parties running.
Makes me wonder why we couldn't have a similar system with CPU's. Accidentally drop the chip into the motherboard? You'd only have to replace £5 worth of parts instead of £500.
You can get Google play working by sideloading it with adb, and enabling graphene's microG service in the apps menu.
Any further apps installed with Google play, and Google itself, will still be under the default restrictions imposed by graphene, instead of having full access like with stock android.
It can be a little clunky starting out, but once you get used to it, the only major downside I could find was that I couldn't verify my bank details to enable nfc payments, because Google hasn't whitelisted Graphene in their API for "security reasons"
