I hadn't realised the Health Bill gets rid of the duty to provide hospital services!! 😱

We are living in dark times, friends.

Please please, email your MP, & sign any petitions you see. We can't depend on friendly aliens to come from Betelguese to save us!

#ScrapNHSBill

PS Can you email your MP TONIGHT, please tweeps?

The 2nd reading of this alarming Health & Care Bill is tomorrow. MPs need to have emails in their inboxes first thing. /2

#PeoplePower

Here's a template letter to help you write to your MP. (Not written by me!) Best to write your own, but this provides good info. Or you could keep it very simple, - just mention the removal of the duty to provide hospital care to everyone. /2 docs.google.com/document/d/1-c…

Here's a template letter to help you mail your MP re the Health & Care Bill which has its second reading tomorrow. Can you RT, tweepies?

I didn't write it. Was posted by Labour MP Jon Trickett. /2

Govt have laid a fiendishly clever trap for Labour with the Police bill. 🧐

The draconian Protest clauses are being put through as part of a huge bunch of 'law & order' legislation.

If Labour votes against - govt/MSM will splash headlines that Starmer is soft on crime. 1/4

The rumour is that Starmer plans to whip his MPs to abstain, to try & avoid the trap. It won't work. The Govt & MSM will treat an abstention in the same way as they would a vote against.

He may as well do the right thing, and vote against the Bill. 2/4

I believe Starmer should ALSO draw attention to the dishonest and frankly undemocratic practice of hiding controversial legislation in amongst other pieces of proposed legislation which are politically very difficult for the Opposition to vote against - to get it passed. 3/4

Lots of tweeps have asked for the text of the letter I posted as a screenshot, to Keir Starmer to ask him NOT to whip his MPs to vote for the Patel's anti-democratic Policing Bill.

Here's a thread containing the letter so you can cut and paste it into an email /1

Dear Keir Starmer,
I was horrified today to learn about Priti Patel’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, - specifically, the ‘Protest Powers’ clauses which propose significant changes to the policing and control of public protests and demonstrations. In my view /2

Patel’s proposals represent a curbing of our rights as citizens, and an attack on our democracy.

I also find it concerning that the Protest Powers proposals are ‘hidden’ in an huge multi-sectioned Bill which Government appear to be rushing through Parliament to avoid /3
