🚨 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.
💪 Join the fight today by becoming a Big Brother Watch supporter 👇
1. Review all prosecutions heard under the Single Justice Procedure in relation to emergency Covid laws.
2. Commit to scrapping the use of the Single Justice Procedure for Covid charges.
The Single Justice Procedure means people are being convicted + fined under confusing Covid laws in secretive 'trials' without meaningful oversight or review.
It is likely that hundreds of people have been wrongly convicted under this process.
(1/5) Big Brother Watch Director @silkiecarlo: “This judgment confirms that the UK’s mass spying breached citizens’ rights to privacy and free expression for decades."
(2/5) "Today, Mr @Snowden's courageous whistleblowing is vindicated as is the tireless work of Big Brother Watch and our allies in this pursuit of justice. Mr Snowden clearly deserves the protection of democratic nations across Europe for his selfless defence of human rights."
Disclosures by @Snowden revealed that GCHQ was conducting “population-scale” interception, capturing the communications of millions of innocent people.
The mass spying programmes included:
❌ TEMPORA, a bulk data store of all internet traffic;
❌KARMA POLICE, a catalogue including a “web browsing profile for every visible user on the internet”;
❌Black Hole, a repository of over 1 trillion events including internet histories, email and instant messenger records, search engine queries and social media activity
“Millions of Brits will be disturbed to discover they were unwittingly tracked & subjected to behavioural analysis via their phones. SPI-B identified who has & hasn't been vaccinated, where people live, their age and close contacts through this digital stalking.”
“This is deeply chilling and damaging to public trust in medical confidentiality.
"Between looming Covid passports and vaccine phone surveillance, this Government is turning Britain into a Big Brother state under the cover of Covid.
#EmergencyPowers are still being used to clamp down on protesters, with 4 arrested on suspicion of breaching Health Protection Regulations this weekend.
And the #CoronavirusAct remains in force, although all 270 charges under the Act have been unlawful.
