In 1934, @libertyhq was founded to defend our right to protest. And here we are again, 89 years later. What the Home Secretary is planning to do undermines our right to protest, and the way she is doing it is unlawful.
💬"This all matters because accountability matters We must make sure that this power-grab doesn't go ahead, and Gov isn't able to weaken our rights by bypassing our long-established democratic procedures" ✍️@AkikoMHart on legal action to #DefendDemocracy
