"Protecting public health".

@PoliceScotland stormed into a family home yesterday - on suspicion they had guests around... In fact their seriously ill daughter had just been discharged from hospital.

This is disgraceful. Serious questions must be answered - now. @NicolaSturgeon
Incredibly, in this 2nd video, the police remain and continue to distress the family whilst the daughter is on the floor.

We have reviewed a lot of poor and unlawful policing during the pandemic. This may be the most heinous and senseless example yet.

Change MUST follow this.
We have offered to provide support to the young woman concerned if required.

We will also pursue answers from @policescotland.
Thought @policescotland couldn't get any worse? WRONG

The police chief defended *charging* the girl after her seizure & told press of a 'house party'. We can confirm only the 2 children were at home with the 2 adults seen in the video.

This is not over.

The Prime Minister will order even tougher restrictions tonight via a *televised address* - yet again, evading the democratic process.

This is a deliberate pattern of rule by decree.

MPs cannot meaningfully vote on orders that have already been issued by the PM to the nation.
Every lockdown has been imposed by a televised address whilst parliament is in recess.

Democratic institutions, from parliament to the courts, have been unable to ensure this public health situation is managed effectively, rationally or democratically.

This weekend, police squads patrolled Speakers' Corner, used force and made arrests.

🚨Extraordinary + welcome return to rationality by Vaccines Minister today:

"Mandating vaccinations is discriminatory & completely wrong. I, like @SteveBakerHW, urge businesses listening to this today not to even think about this. We've absolutely no plans for vaccine passports"
This major U-turn was confirmed during a Westminster Hall debate this evening in which an e-petition, signed by 300k+ people, urged the Government to prevent any restrictions on people who refuse to be vaccinated.

Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said he'd previously "misspoke".
In addition to @SteveBakerHW, Zahawi thanked @spectator + @talkRADIO for allowing him to 'explain' his position, & @ProfKarolSikora.

It followed Baker's strong case against implicit coercion:

"There can't possibly be ANY question of coercing people into taking the vaccine"

🚨URGENT: @metpoliceuk has issued misleading and chilling statements ahead of today's demonstrations in London, denying our rights to organise and attend protests under current Coronavirus laws.

We have sent an urgent letter to the Met with @libertyhq to demand a correction. ⬇️
This is a misrepresentation of the law that fails to respect both the Coronavirus Regulations and fundamental freedoms of assembly & expression, protected by the Human Rights Act.

Protests organised with a risk assessment + safety measures can be lawful.

By denying that political gatherings can be organised and attended lawfully with safety measures, police are making inevitable protests less safe and more likely to result in prosecutions.

We cannot allow police to trash the rule of law.

🚨BREAKING: A Big Brother Watch investigation has found councils using huge amounts of highly personal data + predictive analytics to create covid risk scores with private data firm Xantura - and even predict who might break self-isolation.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
This extraordinary system, uncovered by our investigator @JHurfurt, includes a vast amount of data spanning “unfaithful & unsafe sex”, financial details, free school meals & dangerous pets.

It is stereotyping at its worst. We do not yet know where some of this data is sourced.
“This underlines the shift toward mass surveillance and data harvesting triggered by the pandemic. It's scandalous that councils are using experimental algorithms behind closed doors. We have a right to know how councils use our data to make decisions about our lives.” @JHurfurt

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.

🚨NEW: A law is in force *today* requiring venues to collect our personal data, or else be fined £500.

Pubs, cafés, restaurants, even workplace canteens must refuse entry to anyone who doesn’t want to share this data.
