Shame on Labour.
We need to #GetGreensElected
RT @GreenJennyJones: Things did not go well last night in the Lords on the #NationalSecurityBill, where we lost several votes. I called a vote on protecting journalists and Greens were joined by Lib Dems and a few others in the voting lobby, but @UKLabour abstained, so the Tories won. Draining.

Important gp of amendments protecting press freedom from ill-advised, illiberal, chilling clauses in National Security Bill. I'm not allowed to speak but NB media already risk-averse/walks on eggshells re reporting dissent or challenging state. Security can't be excuse to silence

The #NationalSecurityBill has been so loosely drafted that it poses a threat to UK #media freedom.
It is in the House of Lords now, but the #Conservative Govt is refusing to accept amendments which would include protections for #journalists.

RT @joannaccherry: Busy day in ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ today debating #NationalSecurityBill & chairing @HumanRightsCtte where we are taking evidence on #HumanRights of #AsylumSeekers, so have come suitably attired. Without the suffragettes I wouldn’t be here. 💜💚🤍

There are *no* exceptions to the prohibition of #torture & other ill-treatment. It is unconscionable that the British Government might shield ministers or officials from accountability for assisting murder & torture, or prevent victims of torture from receiving compensation. With 10 other orgs, we have written to the UK Government to raise our serious concerns about the proposed #NationalSecurityBill.

The thread covers more illiberal legislation incl work to repeal #HumanRightsAct

#BritishBillofRights permits divergence from European Convention on Human Rights (#ECHR ) when assessing pending laws and merit of cases. Noting use of Rwanda and Manston events to promote it

Also 14yrs potential jail time for journalists who report leaks from whistleblowers in the #NationalSecurityBill. https://twitter.com/trialbytruth/status/1534948419789377541
