"No more lockdowns" says @trussliz

But Johnson said same - before more lockdowns

The data are in:
Lockdowns did almost nothing for Covid
Unimaginable damage to everything else

Talk is cheap

How about next PM makes it impossible *in law* for any repeat?

"I will stand up for free speech" claims @trussliz in marketing email

Has she read Online Safety Bill?

Adds 2 new layers of censorship

1. Big Tech to censor anything 'harmful' (vague enough for you?)

2. @Ofcom monitors w/big fines

Want to stand up for free speech?
Scrap it

Free speech is not a ‘nice to have’

Free & open debate actually protects us all

It’s how society adjusts course & avoids massive errors

Online Safety Bill won’t make us more ‘safe’

It will make us less free, poorer & more prone to error

Scrap it @trussliz @RishiSunak @DCMS

Many have huge concerns about Digital ID

No: it's not the same as photo ID

The extension of Digital IDs & Central Bank Digital Currencies create worrying surveillance possibilities by their very design

We must be vigilant to ensure they are not abused 👇

If Online Safety Bill goes through, WhatsApp & similar will have to snoop on your private messages

Why?

So you don't see anything that could be 'psychologically distressing' of course!

This Bill is vague, ridiculous - & also very dangerous @trussliz & @conservatives

Bin it

It's obscene that in UK in 2022, ordinary people should have to choose "heat or eat"

Total policy failure

Next UK leader must #AxeTheTax:

Fuel duty (52%)
VAT on energy (5%)
VAT on fuel (20%)
'Green' taxes on energy (~15%)
Price cap £1,300 on energy bills

We've seen far too much overreach in name of safety

It's completely wrong if govts cling to so-called "emergency" measures or "bait & switch"

Today we wrote to @ScotRail about continuing their "Covid" alcohol ban indefinitely, as "agreed with @scotgov"👇

"For consent to be valid, you have to be informed about all the benefits & potential harms of a treatment... mandating things goes against the principles that allow you to be an individual & have rights"

After last 2 years, why would anyone trust govt to regulate internet?

We saw how @Ofcom - at behest of govt - stifled Covid debate on TV

Now govt wants @Ofcom to monitor Big Tech censorship via Online Safety Bill

We are free people in the UK
Scrap this monstrosity @trussliz

NHS has problems

Many of them brought about by the thing that was supposed to 'protect' it: lockdowns

As we go into autumn, we must reject any attempt to address NHS resource issues with restrictions on public

It's there for public, not other way around @NHSEngland
