Government's repeat protest restrictions worse than feared - Liberty

This will impact EVERYONE.

Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime & Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone.

Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it.

Latest YouGov poll shows multi-party Britain breaking the voting system If there were a general election tomorrow, who would form the next government? It sounds like a simple question if you have access to the latest polls. But when the latest YouGov poll, r

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders

And then lay off their workers

Think that's unfair?

Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Indeed, the Toilet Duck™ advert does not represent the actual population of birds in the UK. Where are all the pigeons?

Suggest you jump in on this poll.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr... @OpenBritainHQ

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

New petition: Do not extend the BBC TV license fee to streaming services It has been reported that the Government is considering extending the BBC TV license fee to active subscribers of popular streaming services such as Netflix as an example. We believe this is unfair and that the Government has no rights to extend what we think is an unfair charge.

As usual, Trump makes stuff up and not only he will get away with it, but his fans are going to cheer (while paying the actual price).

Brexit trade meetings remain a state secret Secrecy maintained over the extent to which Britain is willing to abandon environmental and consumer protections to secure trade deals after Brexit.

This is a huge and highly consequential story in @theecologist.org‬
We have no idea what is being traded away to secure deals with other countries, and it turns out we are not allowed to know.
So much for democracy.

Come on Laura - stop letting Farage get away with grotesque lies on #climate - the green economy is growing 3 times faster than rest of the economy. The green transition is in our *economic interests* & it’s Farage who’ll de-industrialise the UK, not green policy #bbclaurak

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour.

Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines.

The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering.

The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

‘Remember ’76?’ isn’t a climate argument Britain’s 1976 heatwave was an outlier in a stable climate – not proof today’s crisis is normal

Beware: weaponised nostalgia is the new face of climate denial. Not 'the science is fake', but 'We had it bad in my day too - remember '76?'.

It reassures, distracts – and delays the action we urgently need.

Farage is planning to boost migration into the UK at cost to the poor Reform has come up with one of the most stupid tax proposals I have ever heard of. As The Guardian summarises it: Reform UK are to offer wealthy foreigners and returning British expats a bespoke tax ...

Farage has a plan to increase migration into the UK at cost to everyone already living here - and he obviously thinks we're daft enough to fall for it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Everyone should write to their MP saying:

Israel’s attack on Iran is insane. It is also being used to distract from Gaza, where internet has been cut, and the West Bank, where settlements are aggressively expanding.

The UK government MUST recognise the State of Palestine now.

Does your MP agree?

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted.

It won’t be released in unredacted form.

More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment.

What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.
