@guse_guse

@Himself132 @SueSuezep There's this from @DavidLammy but I, like you, would like to hear a lot more from all members of the Front Bench + as many Backbenchers as possible. They should be in an uproar. Even if they are powerless to change anything, they need to protest loudly!

@DavidLammy I always felt safer with the European Court of human rights as a last resort. It genuinely felt as we were protected. I don't trust the tories in any way shape or form, to protect us.

@DavidLammy @Uklabour must come out & state unequivocally it'll reverse Tory hijack of UK democracy when in power.

Raab's attack on human rights just the latest
-Neutering Electoral Comm.
-Voter ID
-Right to protest
-"Free Speech tsar"
-BBC/C4 interference
-Supreme Court
-FPTP mayors

@DavidLammy The UK's continued adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights is an important part of Northern Ireland's Good Friday Agreement.

Diluting or ending that adherence would be downright dangerous, adding to Brexit tensions undermining peace in NI.
