🚨 MPs are now debating *mandatory vaccines* for ALL people working in adult care homes after a cynical snap vote was called yesterday.
More to follow 👇
'It states in the explanatory note that a full impact assessment has been prepared (…) where is it?' @William_Wragg
'The impact assessment is being worked on' @Helen_Whately
How can MPs vote on these draconian measures without sufficient evidence?
'There are serious warnings from the care sector that the Government's plan could lead to staff shortages in already under-staffed care homes,'
❌@DrRosena explains why Labour won’t be supporting mandatory vaccines in adult care homes.
‘Mandatory vaccines tend to increase distrust and suspicion'
@Dr_PhilippaW draws on the findings of The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Vaccinations for All's findings that vaccine coercion leads to distrust.
'We risk going down a slippery slope to chip away at people's rights & freedoms to make their own health choices, this decision sets a precedent and must not be taken lightly,'
👏@munirawilson expands on why mandatory vaccines are a blunt tool for a complex issue.

Impassioned opposition to this *erosion of rights* by the govt | @William_Wragg
"90 minutes on a statutory instrument to fundamentally change the balance of human rights in this country is nothing short of a disgrace."
✔️ We will continue standing up against mandatory covid vaccinations in all settings.

🔴11 years ago, @Snowden blew the whistle on mass surveillance.
UK intelligence agency GCHQ had spied on millions of Britons - with aid from the US National Security Agency
What surveillance operations did Snowden expose & where do we stand today? 🧵
👁️ Snowden blew the whistle on GCHQ's operation OPTIC NERVE
Britain's intelligence headquarters intercepted & stored webcam images from Yahoo chats of millions of users to trial automated searches using facial recognition.
⚠️ Today, police are conducting facial recognition searches using our PASSPORT PHOTOS
Shops across the UK are also using facial recognition to spy on customers
This generalised mass surveillance of the population is reversing the presumption of innocence
🚨BREAKING: Today, we're launching groundbreaking legal action against the use of facial recognition technology in the UK.
We’re supporting two members of the public, an anti-knife crime community worker and a teenager to bring legal challenges after the technology wrongly flagged them as criminals – and they sought our help.
And we're doing this for YOU - to stop the government's alarming push to expand live facial recognition technology, turning us all into walking ID cards.
With your support we can:
🔸Take groundbreaking legal action against police and shops' use of facial recognition
🔸Demand politicians roll back live facial recognition
🔸Give legal advice & support to people affected by live facial recognition
🔸Work with groups around the world fighting live facial recognition surveillance
This legal action to #StopFacialRecognition is the culmination of seven years of relentless campaigning, marked by countless highs and lows and immense hard work.
🚨🧵 Newly obtained documents expose British military operatives's bizarre social media surveillance during the pandemic.
Were they REALLY countering dangerous disinformation?
Or conducting Government reputation management?
YOU be the judge...
Internal documents that we have also obtained reveal British soldiers factored in the “potential risk” of “spying” or “conducting PSYOPs on the UK” in their “counter disinformation” work...
but carried on anyway
