Don't look now @RishiSunak & @trussliz - some more truths just in:

The #RightsRemovalBill will let the Government decide who does and doesn't get rights and will take rights away from migrants.

But the public says... 77% say everyone in the UK ...
@RishiSunak @trussliz The Human Rights Act forces public authorities - like Gov and police - to respect your rights.

This duty forced the second inquest into the Hillsborough disaster that finally got to the truth.

The #RightsRemovalBill will let public bodies ignore your rights.

The public says... 77% say public authorities ...
The Human Rights Act empowers you to challenge abuse of your rights in British courts.

The #RightsRemovalBill makes it much harder to get your case off the ground, hiding those in power from accountability for their actions.

The public says... 76% say people must be able...
The #RightsRemovalBill is a hangover from the Johnson Government that will put people in harm's way.

The public says NO.

The next PM could simply ditch this plan.

More than 120,000 people have signed the petition to #SaveYourRights. Add your name today action.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/100020/pe…

BREAKING 🚨

From today, spying bodies such as MI5 or MI6 can no longer easily access journalists’ emails, calls, and texts

This follows our seven-year legal challenge supported by @NUJofficial

This is a HUGE VICTORY for press freedom in the UK a still graphic of the word "BREAKING" in large white text on a plain green background
Under the Investigatory Powers Act, state bodies could search for confidential journalistic material without needing permission

They collected this data through ‘bulk’ interception and hacking devices

Leaving communications between journalists and their sources at risk
During our legal challenge earlier this year, previous Gov conceded that state bodies must get permission to handle journalistic material

We agreed to drop this part of our legal case once the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Act was passed.

BREAKING

We said we would #DefendDemocracy...

AND WE'VE WON our case against Government anti-protest laws that completely ignored the will of Parliament Liberty lawyers and campaigners outside the Royal Courts of Justice holding a banner and placards saying "DEFEND DEMOCRACY" with photographers taking pictures in the foreground
Last summer Suella Braverman changed the definition of “serious disruption” to mean “more than minor” – giving police almost unlimited powers to shut down protests

We said this move was

UNDEMOCRATIC
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
UNACCEPTABLE

And today, the Court has said it was UNLAWFUL
No matter where we’re from, our backgrounds, or who we vote for, most of us want our elected leaders to work within the law and not abuse their powers

Our parliamentary democracy exists to make sure a government can’t just do whatever it wants

It must be respected

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman made anti-protest laws she had no power to create

Last summer Suella Braverman changed the definition of “serious disruption” to mean “more than minor” – giving police almost unlimited powers to shut down protests

She had no power to do this

Parliament had rejected it when Gov tried to insert it into the Public Order Bill

VICTORY

Following our 7-year legal challenge supported by @NUJofficial, Gov's agreed to bring in new safeguards to protect journalists from having confidential material - eg communications with sources - easily accessed by state bodies

Currently, the Investigatory Powers Act allows bodies like MI5 and MI6 to search for and keep confidential journalistic material from data they collect when bulk hacking devices – without independent authorisation

A clear threat to our free press
