🛂 "I remember when he said he would eat an ID card if he had to produce one, now he is introducing them!" @Keir_Starmer goes in on @BorisJohnson plans for "vaccine ID card" during #PMQs Vaccine passes would harm public health, equality + liberties. We will never accept them!

Julian Assange turns 50 today - in high security Belmarsh Prison while the US tries AGAIN to extradite him, for journalistic work & exposing war crimes. It’s a source of deep shame for the UK & US and our obligation to protect free expression. He must be released. #FreeAssange

🚨We've sent urgent letters to all schools rolling out facial recognition to set out the serious legal issues + urge them to desist, alongside @defenddigitalme . If your child is asked to use face recognition at school you have the legal right to say NO.

It is difficult to think of another time in modernity when people in Britain could be arrested under a law enforced by a Minister rather than voted for by their elected MPs; arrested under the same law they are protesting; and arrested simply for the fact of protesting.

We have made 21 arrests after a protest in Parliament Square today. Separately, seven people were detained and later handed a fixed penalty notice following a small gathering outside Westminster Magistrates' Court. They were then instructed to go home.

The fact that the Welsh Government still cannot provide any evidence for the effectiveness of Covid IDs comes as no surprise - and is one reason why we've begun a legal challenge. #NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere

Today in response to a written question I submitted to the Health Minister, the Welsh Government has admitted it has no empirical evidence that its COVID pass scheme has reduced transmission of COVID-19. Read my full comments below: @BigBrotherWatch

🚨Vaccines Minister says now CHURCHES may have to check people’s Covid status. @nadhimzahawi says Covid certificates must be considered “if we want our lives back” No. We’re taking our lives back. NO segregation NO discrimination NO Covid certificates.

The scenes at Clapham Common tonight were harrowing, avoidable & a stain on our democracy. A lot of platitudes are coming from MPs who nodded these powers through. Hold them to this: MPs must URGENTLY review lockdown regs & add clear protest exemptions

🚨Welsh gov could require Covid passes *for pubs* in a snap decision on extending the scheme in days. There’s not a scrap of evidence the invasive digital IDs improve public health - at all. ❌They want a checkpoint society. ✅We’re taking legal action.

400+ people had charges overturned after covid laws had been wrongly applied. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Fines issued under covid regs have no safeguards at all. We estimate thousands of fines have been issued wrongly. Every single lockdown fine must be reviewed.

In 2013, the UK Govnt denied its “bulk” surveillance practices. Today, after @Snowden revelations & 6yrs of our litigation, the UK Govnt admitted to Europe’s highest human rights court that it conducts bulk surveillance - and that even the court’s emails would be captured. Wow.

We’re at the European Court of Human Rights for the last stand in our joint legal challenge against UK mass surveillance @Snowden revealed. The case will set a precedent across Europe. If human rights frameworks can protect democracies from surveillance creep, the time is now.

Open for all! 60+ restaurant, nightclub & hospitality bosses have told Boris Johnson they will NOT force customers to show Covid passports. “It is a far cry from freedom if we (..) are forced to demand health papers. We won't be doing it"- @alanvibe 👏
