The assertion that a young person's Oyster Card is an accepted form of Voter ID is incorrect. The Electoral Commission lists the "Oyster 60+ Card funded by the Government of the United Kingdom" as the only version of the Oyster Card that is an accepted form of Voter ID. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1647925837453312005

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
