Yes, Tory MPs have been supporting the Bill, however the lion’s share of the desire and drive arises from both @BorisJohnson being the PM, and the Home Secretary @pritipatel pushing it in order to appease their voter base. 2/
Patel is especially invested as she was charged to deliver the signicant electoral pledge of restricting immigration. However, the question of why Priti Patel as a PoC is hell-bent on pushing the #NationalityAndBordersBill has been asked a lot recently 3/

Furore over HMG public order defeats should not distract from other important changes to #PCSCBill made by @UKHouseofLords last night: urgent review into spiking and injections,making misogyny an aggravating factor in sentencing many crimes (as a racial element already is) … /1
… imposing a statutory duty duty of candour on police, and scrapping the Vagrancy Act 1824 which makes it a crime to beg or sleep rough. /2
Those changes will go back to @HouseofCommons, which can accept them, amend them or play us at ping-pong (which they always win if they are sufficiently determined: we always defer in the end to the elected House). /3
Watch live as #HouseofLords begins the last day of detailed #PoliceBill #PCSCBill checks.

🏦The Lords is due to vote on this amendment to the #PCSCBill today, to give the inquiry into Sarah Everard's death statutory powers
Without this, campaigners say it can't address systemic police violence. It can't compel witnesses to testify either

Priti Patel was threatened with legal action by @centreWJ over this last year
“There are fears that without the powers a statutory inquiry would have any findings will come late, will be inadequate, and ultimately will not fix the systemic issues”

Coincidentally, the Home Secretary has just said that the first part of the inquiry will report this year
The first part will look into Wayne Couzens' conduct and how previous allegations against him were handled

“A big step towards authoritarianism” @GeorgeMonbiot
The govt are excluding debate on new anti-protest laws
The entire Lords committee stage debate on new clauses was crammed into one late night
The Commons have been excluded & the Lords marginalised

Priti Patel shoved 18 extra pages into the #PolicingBill after it had passed through the Commons & the Lords in a ploy to avoid effective parliamentary scrutiny

The deeply-authoritarian #PolicingBill hands police vast new powers to fine, remove or arrest ordinary people who simply wish to peacefully protest

@pritipatel’s new amendments contain new powers to ban named people from protesting

Lords currently debating #Amendment214 "Sex-specific incarceration for violent and sexual offenders". Lord Blencathra spoke of mixed sex policy of @MoJGovUK & "erasure" of women as sex class. Baroness Brinton argued amendment "redundant" & not based in facts on ground. #PCSCBill
Lord Morrow arguing that amendment seeks to preserve basic dignity of women without which risk of breaching their Art.3 right. Baroness Meyer arguing against Brinton that a small number is a number and law should protect all & birth sex must always be recorded. #Amendment214
Lord Pannick arguing #Amendment214 would undermine GRC of trans inmates. Baroness Fox @Fox_Claire says wherever one stands on general issue of transgender rights, we are only talking here of convicted sex offenders in context of prison policy where "obviously a clash of rights".
Ish. A lot of the failures of preventing to stop it imo are more placed within the strategic orientation of the movement itself.
A lot of the mobilising efforts were for organising one off (but country wide) "days of action".
That model isn't good enough.

#killthebill
The notion that the Bill could have been stopped by sporadic days of action is ludicrous. The orientation should have been towards consistent direct action/civil disobedience: sitting on train-tracks for days on end etc etc.
#killthebill #pcscbill
#killthebill #pcscbill
I emphasise the train-tracks point as an example of the kind of thing that was required. Generally speaking the tactics deployed by the movement were marches, rallies, and often actual sit-ins.
