Yesterday legislation effecting fundamental rights such as the #RightToProtest & the right of #GypsyRomaTravellers to a home sailed through parliament without proper debate & scrutiny after a ridiculously short & disjointed time allocation
Many MPs didn’t get to speak. Amendments tabled after painstaking inquiries such as that of @HumanRightsCtte were ignored. Our amendments followed on a large volume of written evidence & several sessions of oral evidence & our detailed reports.
Yet none of this was of interest to this Tory Govt. In fairness some of their backbenchers were concerned but to no end. This isn’t evidence based law making. It’s a travesty & British democracy, #HumanRights & the #RuleOfLaw are in peril.
