I was hoping they would rollback the tories authoritarian anti-protest legislation. To my dismay not only haven't they, they've doubled down on it. Worse hardly anyone seems to bat an eyelid, it's as if people actually oppose protest and want oppressive government. |  |

That’s what worries me too. Constant erosion of our rights - not only to protest, but jury trials, cancelled elections, and mandatory ID. A drip drip of our freedoms and rights quietly removed. People keep warning facism is coming with Reform - it’s already here with Labour. If the Tories had done any of the above there would be absolute bedwetting, and I say that as someone that voted for this government. |  | |  |
