Green MP, Caroline Lucas flagged by disinformation unit over Covid criticism

The Tory government “has dangerously blurred the lines between genuine disinformation and legitimate political dissent”.

The Green party MP Caroline Lucas has called for an inquiry into a government unit intended to combat disinformation after it emerged she had been flagged by it for criticisms of ministers and government policy over Covid.

Lucas, who lodged a subject access request along with the campaign group Big Brother Watch for details held on her by the counter-disinformation unit (CDU), said her inclusion in a series of reports amounted to “staggering overreach” by ministers.

Vote 2024 Pledge

The 2024 General Election will take place after almost 15 years of Conservative government.

After all that time, we're left with:

  • The cost of living spiralling
  • The NHS on the brink of collapse
  • Crime rates out of control
  • Young people struggling get onto the first rung of the housing ladder.

We need a new government, but our broken voting system makes it harder than it should be to get the change the country is crying out for.

Take our pledge and commit to voting to the best place party to beat the government in your constituency at the next general election. Whatever your politics, it's time to let someone else have a go at running the country.

Not My King: it’s not a crime to say it

Petition

  • Protest organisers at King Charles’ coronation have been arrested, and placards confiscated.
  • The protest was legal and agreed with the police in advance, but organisers were arrested on their arrival.

The attempts to shut down debate about the issue are a disgrace

It’s time to move on from the feudal age and abolish the monarchy.

Petition:

Tory neglect blamed for 3.6m abandoned calls to NHS 111 in England

Patients contacting NHS 111 in England are having to wait so long for medical help that they are abandoning millions of calls, with 3.6m ditched in the past 12 months, official figures reveal.

“The Conservative government’s record on health has been a shambles and today’s figures are yet further proof that we cannot trust them to run the NHS.”

Nationalise Bulb (don't bail it out)

The government is planning to spend £2.2 billion bailing out private energy company Bulb (which collapsed last year).

Now they want to pay Octopus a further £1 billion to take it over.

This makes no sense.

Now is the perfect time to set up a publicly owned company like EDF in France which has kept their bill rises to only 4%.

Brace yourselves: New UK Data Laws are Coming

The Government have just announced their plans to gut the UK General Data Protection Regulation.

They are proposing to bonfire your rights and remove the protections the law affords to your:- Private life
- Vulnerabilities
- Aspirations.

This is but a natural product of poor proposals being discussed in a rigged consultation process.

Big multinational corporations, their lawyers, and corporate-funded think tanks were advising the Government on how to keep our data safe, courtesy of the “International Data Transfers Expert Council”.

At the same time, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport were taking care of ignoring the critical voices of civil society and ordinary citizens, in a delicate balance of arbitrary cherry-picking and a smokescreen of wishful thinking.

The outcome of such a shiny example of integrity in policymaking is rather damning.

According to what the Government have announced, individuals would lose protections against discrimination and abuses, only to get less choices in return.

Dodgy businesses would get their licence to be malicious, reckless, and to launder your personal data overseas, far from your eyes and those of the Regulators.

The cherry on the cake, the Information Commissioner’s Office (the Regulator) would be coopted by the same Government they should keep an eye on.

Don't electronically tag innocent people for attending protests

The Government’s new Public Order Bill would allow police to put innocent people on electronic ankle tags and ban them from attending marches and demonstrations.

Campaigners and people who want to attend a protest need not have ever committed any offence in order to be given a so-called “protest banning order” by the police.

Under this new anti-protest law, the police will be given powers to:

  • Monitor campaigners using electronic GPS tags
  • Restrict their internet activities
  • Prevent them from attending protests

These are some of the most disturbing and anti-democratic police powers introduced in the UK for decades.

These extreme police powers would be controversial in Russia and China – we cannot allow them in a democratic country like the UK. If thousands of us sign this petition, we can make Priti Patel drop these dangerous new powers.

Nadine Dorries: Keep your hands off our Channel 4

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has finally announced her outrageous plan to sell off Channel 4.

  • Channel 4 is ours
  • It doesn’t cost us a penny
  • It produces shows and films that bring us together - like Slumdog Millionaire, Father Ted, It’s A Sin.
  • It reinvests profits into nurturing new talent, working with small businesses and providing jobs across the UK.

That’s why an overwhelming 82% of the public don’t want Channel 4 to be privatised. Sign the petition to tell Nadine Dorries to get her hands off Channel 4 now!
