This is the most dangerous part of the Police Bill: it allows the Home Secretary to rewrite key parts of the law in future, without the need for new legislation. The Lords Constitution Committee warned in 2020 that such clauses were giving ministers powers of "breathtaking scope" https://t.co/oEE93lGJIN

The media kept telling us 'Boris Johnson is a freedom lover!' The crackdown on protests underlines the truth: people like Johnson only support freedoms for those as privileged as themselves.https://t.co/9mnSvWePMr

The hotel is a tenant in a federal bldg, so it gives this data to the federal govt. But the Trump admin had refused to hand that data over.https://t.co/gjaj3qzHDY
