Shame on Labour.
We need to #GetGreensElected
RT @GreenJennyJones: Things did not go well last night in the Lords on the #NationalSecurityBill, where we lost several votes. I called a vote on protecting journalists and Greens were joined by Lib Dems and a few others in the voting lobby, but @UKLabour abstained, so the Tories won. Draining.

It is telling that government will swiftly make changes to proposed legislation after the Telegraph kicks up a stink, but shows no movement when other media actors raise criticisms - as with e.g. the Online Safety Bill.

DRACONIAN NEW #ESPIONAGE LAWS

Are people in the #UK aware of the severe and sweeping new draconian laws being put forward in the name of "modernising" #espionageLaws?

Things like life-sentences from the current two-year jail sentence etc.

The past two days have seen two Council of Europe Safety of Journalists Platform alerts documenting serious threats to media freedom in the UK, the first a Level 2 alert following the recent arrest of three journalists reporting on Just Stop Oil protests and the second a Level 1 alert relating to the UK government's National Security Bill.

Our right to know is still under threat with the national security bill

The national security bill currently going through parliament cannot be allowed to undermine journalists’ right to report
