1/6: The new PM @trussliz says she “will take bold action to get all of us through these tough times”.

In tough times more than ever, it is essential that our human rights are protected.

The Govt must act to scrap the Rights Removal Bill: bit.ly/3F2lh4q
2/6: The new PM says she believes “in freedom, in the ability to control your own life”

The Govt’s attempts to weaken our Article 8 right to private and family life will do just the opposite: bit.ly/3nkmwVe
3/6: The new PM says she will deliver on the energy crisis.

Our Human Rights Act has protected people’s standard of living e.g. by ensuring the most vulnerable have access to their benefits: bit.ly/3CZhpTz

THREAD (1/7) This year’s Parliamentary Session ended on Thursday 28th April, meaning Parliament won’t meet again until the after the new year starts on 10th May. The Govt pushed through a number of laws before the year ends which have concerning implications for human rights.
(2/7) Martha of @libertyhq discussed how these laws relate to #HumanRightsActReform at our recent Ask the Experts event: bit.ly/3OL1Mmg. But it’s also important to see how campaigning + public pressure helped reduce some of the most harmful measures in these laws.
(3/7) The Elections Bill: Following campaigning from the @RNIB about the disproportionate impact on disabled people, the Lords inserted a clause requiring the Electoral Commission to consult on its guidance with groups representing the interests of people affected.
