Facial recognition isn't 'just another camera'. Its more akin to a checkpoint, having to declare your identity, having your fingerprints taken. All of that just to pop to the shop?

Many thanks to friends, comrades & strangers who have supported me through this process - especially the excellent lawyers at @libertyhq . This isn't about me: it's about the rights of all people to express their views. Police must be held to account.

Earlier this year we at Liberty took the Tory Government to court over Suella Braverman’s anti-protest laws and won. When Labour took over, they refused to drop the appeal, so today we’re taking the fight to them too.

There are 16 million disabled people in the UK but during the six weeks of campaigning, there’s been little focus on how the main political parties are going to help them.
Ruben Reuter went to find out what they have to offer.
