An informal alliance active from 2021 to 2022 opposing the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act's assault on freedom, rights, and marginalised communities.
It's a huge honour to receive this @SMKcampaigners award for best collaboration. We couldn't stop this draconian law from passing, but together we won some victories, highlighted the attack on marginalised communities and forged new links across civil society. 🧵
Congratulations to the winner of #SMKAwards2023#BestCoalitionOrCollaboration: @PoliceBillAll. Amazing work!👏
The alliance helped fight – and win – almost every anti-protest measure added to the Bill & stood in solidarity with RTG communities.

The attack on protest rights has continued and is part of a wider attempt to roll back the very foundations of the UK's human rights protection. Follow @libertyhq for the latest news and actions to defend our rights and freedoms.

Second Reading of the Public Order Bill has started! Follow along here — for at least some of it. (I’ll be taking a break sometime between 6pm and 7pm.)
A thread…
The @DemDefCoalition is tweeting about the Public Order Bill, which contains so many of the measures defeated in the Lord earlier this year. Do follow along this afternoon and follow the Democracy Defence Coalition.

A thread…
The #QueensSpeech was full of platitudes and vague noises when it came to housing, cost of living, and the environment. Yet the dangers were more clearly expressed: attacks on human rights and on democracy.
“Our fight doesn’t end here. A huge and diverse movement has come together to challenge the government's drift to authoritarianism and its attempts to evade public accountability.”
What happens now with the #PolicingBill? bond.org.uk/press-releases/2…
Good evening everyone! The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (aka the #PolicingBill) is back in the Lords this evening. We understand that many Lords are planning to insist on noise a third time.
Live tweets will be on this thread below!
The #PolicingBill has just squeaked through before Parliament is prorogued. There are a few other pieces of legislation still to come — watch out for the #ElectionsBill in the Commons tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for following along. I’m @QuakerDissent, and I hang out on Twitter quite a bit. I’ve enjoyed tweeting the passage of the #PolicingBill, despite the disappointments.
