As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

At what point does ‘the masked men on the street have legitimate concerns’ and ‘Just Stop Oil/Palestine Action are terrorists’ become two tier policing?

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

Under the UK’s non-proportional voting system, the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt would today have a huge, dominating majority of representatives - on a minority of the vote - with the power to be as awful as they wanted.

Too often, the public conversation gives the impression that one narrow viewpoint speaks for all women. It doesn't. Over 100,000 UK women have already signed our letter because they believe in fairness, inclusion and treating trans+ people with kindness, compassion, and inclusively. Join us.
“The majority of women are trans-inclusive, or are happy just living their lives alongside trans people without any concern. However, we are being ignored – by politicians and the media – in preference to a small, loud, group of ‘gender critical’ anti-trans lobbyists masquerading as ‘feminists’.”

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

This is not about being “anti-American”, or “pro-Iran.” It’s about being pro-civilization, and pro-humanity against a rogue American regime, which is wreaking havoc and explicitly threatening war crimes on a massive scale. If the world does not draw a line now, what next? If not now, when?

A friend sent me this graph showing that most Brits now want to #RejoinEU, & if this trend continues, by 2030 a huge 75% will be in favour of rejoining. #Starmer has made some good noises in realigning with the #EU, but stops short of fully rejoining. Why don't they listen to what the people want?
Graph, with the text "Britain is coming home" shwoing that come 2030 a massive 75% will want to rejoin the EU.
