Follow this account and be bemused at the scale of some of the contracts our government are regularly awarding for mind-boggling things. Then ask your MP if they think it good value?

You've been warned. This secretly issues order of our Govt demands universal decryption capabilities, effectively turning Apple into a surveillance arm of the UK government. British authorities could then rifle through anyone’s iCloud account.

IT'S A COUP! Sadly it isn' on every front page in 150 point banner headlines! "They’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once.” Great in depth report by @carolecadwalla

This is well worth a 7 minute watch. The Austrian police acting like dictators. But, likely in collusion with UK security services! Are we happy to have people acting like this, in our names? I'm not.
I was detained this week by the Austrian police and intelligence services. They raided my house, office, and took all my devices. They are accusing me of being a member of Hamas and threatened me with 10 years in prison. Journalism is not a crime.
