I stand with #NHS midwives

Across our NHS, #midwives are routinely working shifts without rest breaks.

- Many are signed up to opt out of the #Working Time #Regulations, not freely, but because speaking up feels impossible.

- #Clinical #errors linked to #fatigue are not rare #accidents, they are what happens when a system asks too much of too few people for too long.

Tell your MP: Protect VPN use in the UK

Protect VPN use in the UK VPNs help people to stay private and safe online. Young people use them to avoid harassment, or protect location data. Companies use them to make sure remote log-in to their networks are secure. Journalists, campaigners and whistle blowers use them to protect their work and themselves. But the Government wants to give ministers powers to restrict access to any Internet services. These could be used to force people to verify their age when they buy a VPN.

#Scottish #Labour would let controversial tech giant #Palantir “gain control of our #health #data”, an MP has told The National

No ID Checks for Web Access

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.
