“Heinous, yet another U-turn… I worry there’ll be a backlash to this and quite rightly so” Big Brother Watch’s Silkie Carlo says vaccine passports are “discriminatory and deeply illiberal" Tory MP Conor Burns has “some sympathy” with that #PoliticsLive

Watch @joerogan and @BretWeinstein saying what perhaps the likes of the ACLU should be saying about the unjustified and dangerous dehumanisation of unvaccinated people, who people are now comfortably calling “plague rats”.

A subclass is being created across Europe to the backdrop of rights institutions’ silence. The Unvaccinated are being denied leisure, free movement, even jobs. If this is deemed acceptable, the dream of the European rights project is dead. My op-ed ⬇️

The Prime Minister just put 25 million people under house arrest, days before Christmas, under threat of criminal conviction, via a press conference. If we do not collectively understand the gravity of what has happened to our democracy now, we have passed a point of return.

I don’t know WHAT they’re following but it’s not “science”. His own party leader, double jabbed, has covid. Thousands do. Vaccines don’t prevent transmission. They’re for your own health, not others’. There’s no case to extend authoritarian covid ID after 2 weeks of failed use.

In a Govt update published tonight, yet another contradiction to PM’s statement just minutes before- Govt won’t just “encourage” but will “consider mandating” Covid passes if the, er, encouragement is not fully complied with. Parliament & the public are constantly being lied to.

@Amy_Siskind JFC. That’s how you do what, rabid corporate capitalism? There’s nothing feminist, or even remotely admirable, about celebrating a corporation’s demand for jurisdiction over workers’ bodies and threatening them with mass sackings. Girlboss negligible.

We @BigBrotherWatch lobbied against mandatory vaccines, as did @libertyhq and the unions. The government didn’t listen and now mass sackings await. It’s unconscionable to sack highly trained professionals like Dr James - who have saved lives from Covid for the past two years.

I’ve pulled out from speaking at How The Light Gets In as they require Covid ID. Eagle eyed will notice the headline speaker has gone too. I love the festival and wish them the best but they failed to even debate a major issue of the day. This really isn’t a time for compliance.

I’ve whisked through the newly published Online Safety Bill. It gives the executive extraordinary power over online censorship; targets lawful speech; and encourages platforms’ mass surveillance & *IDs* online. It truly is a censor’s charter. My take✍️

The Online Safety Bill makes a mockery of free speech

We should be incredibly cautious about deferring to Americanised terms of service over domestic speech laws

Buckle up 😬 This afternoon, the government’s anti-democracy agenda dominates parliament, with Bills being progressed to criminalise just about any protest, entrench pandemic anti-protest laws that banned the Clapham vigil, and impose mandatory voter ID - a leap to national ID.

Lancashire Police broadcasting missing Nicola Bulley’s health issues and hormone status to the world is a *serious* invasion of her privacy with no obvious benefits for the investigation. A shocking decision when the police’s treatment of women is rightly in the spotlight.

The decision to disclose this level of detail on a missing person's private life, with no evidence that this is assisting in finding her, is deeply troubling. The police need to be much clearer as to why any of this helps find Nicola Bulley or support this investigation.

Government’s continued avoidance of parliamentary scrutiny treats democracy as part-time, debate as futile & opposition as something to be squashed. Let’s be honest, this is exactly how politicians intoxicated with power want it to be. My op ed ✍️ ⬇️

The repeated use of emergency Covid powers makes me fear for our democracy

Government by diktat is becoming the new normal. We must resist it before it's too late
