The new lockdown law has been published.

Again, we're legally prevented from leaving our homes without "reasonable excuse".

The vote's a foregone conclusion. Johnson already instructed us to lockdown last week - MPs will vote for it after just 90 mins of 'debate' tomorrow.

To be in this position again, 7 months after the first lockdown, reflects the Government's astronomical failures over the past 9 months.

It is wholly unacceptable to plunge the nation into house arrest via leaks, press statements and complex, last minute Regulations.

We will get through this. But we must work harder than ever to recover.

The damage being done to lives, liberties and the rule of law cannot be understated.

Our civil liberties will never be the same again unless we fight to protect them fearlessly now.

We'll hold authorities to account. If you have an unfair fine or arrest, or see anything of concern, please contact us: [e-mail]

We'll provide monthly reports to MPs; we'll continue our investigations, and we'll take legal action where needed + where we can.

We want you to know: we applied to intervene in the legal challenge to the 1st lockdown. We supported the case that the lockdown was undemocratic & unlawful. Unfortunately, our application + appeal was rejected.

But as long as we have your support, we'll never give up.
