Today the Government announced proposals to limit people's ability to challenge Gov and public bodies in court.
NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW
But the Government is trying to hide from accountability at every turn.

SIDELINING PARLIAMENT
Gov has spent the last year drastically changing everyone's lives with barely a moment's notice - and next to no scrutiny from elected MPs.
Table of all COVID regs here from @AdamWagner1 -many enacted the same day MPs first saw them

PROTEST
The #PoliceCrackdown Bill gives police more powers to shut down protest, creates a buffer zone around Parliament, makes 'serious annoyance' punishable by 10 years in prison AND MORE.
Protest isn't a gift from the State. It's our fundamental right

TORTURE AND WAR CRIMES
The #OverseasOperationsBill will put the MoD above the law.
It effectively decriminalises Armed Forces offences abroad after 5 years - including torture.
And prevents soldiers from taking claims against the MoD after 6 years.

But a Gov panel is now looking at proposals that will make our rights meaningless and put the powerful above the law. libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/liberty-…

CHALLENGING INJUSTICE
Right now people can challenge the Government and other public bodies in court when they get it wrong.
But Gov wants to limit people's ability to do this. Today it announced proposals to limit access to 'judicial review'
