"This bill is the tip of an authoritarian iceberg and is on a collision course with public defiance." - @labourlewis

Clive Lewis points out that by damaging the right to protest, the #PolicingBill will lead to a public backlash.
Jon Trickett: This bill would silence the powerless while the powerful keep their control over our lives.

e.g. It would muzzle the employees of @BritishGas who are being blackmailed into accepting worse terms.

The Crown Prosecution Service has a constitutional responsibility to bring charges against politicians who break the law.
Why is the @cpsuk choosing to protect Conservatives? Impartiality demands equality before the law.

Failure to act in these circumstances WOULD be political.
Theresa Villiers:

Position Public Trust: Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

Violation of that trust: Saying the Irish Border was not a Brexit issue because it hasn't changed in 100 years.

Consequence: Peace process destabilised.
#ChargeThem @CPSuk
Dominic Raab:

Position of Public Trust: Under-Secretary of State for Civil Liberties & Human Rights

Violation of trust: Said Brexit will not create trade barriers then created barriers as Brexit negotiator.

Consequence: Trade down 40%

We put thieves in jail because they chose to damage someone financially for personal gain via dishonest means.

Brexit politicians have damaged people financially for personal gain via dishonest means, on a MUCH larger scale.

So I'm just gonna say it. They all belong in prison.
Literally all of them promised people Brexit wouldn't damage our trade, and that's exactly what's happening.
I'm sorry. I'm just angry after watching this @pkelso report:

Small businesses like Lizzie's can't afford to set up a branch in the EU to avoid the new Brexit costs. But big businesses can and are doing it now.
⬇️
A clear advantage to large corporations, screwing the little guy.

When something good/bad happens due to Brexit, we must know HOW Brexit caused it AND if that's good or bad.

E.g. If Nissan has to start manufacturing the batteries here because the Brexit Deal means they would now face tariffs otherwise, that's good for this, but bad generally.
In other words... If you were going to judge whether 2020 was a good year, you wouldn't say "Well, face masks sales are through the roof, so clearly the economy was booming."
Not all positives are a good sign.
The fact the 'tariff free Brexit deal' doesn't cover goods that have major components from overseas, is why the battery production had to move to Sunderland to avoid tariffs on electric Nissans.

Large corporations can afford to move things around like that. On the other hand...

Today Loyalist groups in Northern Ireland rejected the Good Friday Agreement.

In 2019 Boris Johnson said that if major parts of Northern Ireland's economy were governed by the EU, it would 'undermine the balance' the GF Agreement is based on.

His Brexit deal does exactly that.
And here you are saying that the backstop was unacceptable because it would increase NI/GB checks.
You deal does that.

Go on @10DowningStreet. Delete the tweets. I dare you.
