Last-minute powers and limited scrutiny hansardsociety.org.uk/public… briefing from the @HansardSociety
TL;DR the UK Government is giving itself broad powers to restrict internet services, under the guise of tech regulation and "online safety", with a minimum of democratic oversight
ALT The legal scope of a delegated power is determined by its wording, not ministerial assurances. The amendment’s text allows much more than the Government’s stated intentions. In practice, the power could be used to: ● create new criminal offences; ● impose new fees or charges; or ● confer further legislative powers or powers to issue codes of practice or guidance.

They don’t teach you about Frank Whittle in school 🇬🇧
A working-class boy from Coventry. Too short for the RAF. Applied under a false name and got in.
Invented the jet engine at 21. Britain ignored him. His patent lapsed because he couldn’t afford £5. Germany picked it up and flew first.
Every aircraft on earth flies because of him ✈️
This is what British pride looks like. Not empires. Not kings. Ordinary people who changed the world and got forgotten.
We find them. We bring them back.🇬🇧🫡

We are strongly opposed to any plan to make shotguns subject to Section 1 restrictions and are calling on all those involved in shooting to write to their MP about this proposal.

Wow. The Government has officially admitted to me that through the 'Government Communication Service' it 'collects, stores, and processes data from public social media posts.'
Why? 'to address potential mis/disinformation.'
They are using AI for 'information environment analysis'.
Posts about migration are included as part of 'wider thematic reporting'.
They 'share aggregate social media analysis with partner governments'. Strange, isn't it? Why would that be needed?

“The effects of the family farm tax means we will lose the farm. Bear in mind we are the smallest farm locally. We have an inheritance tax liability of £600,000. That’s unsustainable for us.”
And caused by a “£22bn black hole” lie.

BASC is urging all shooters who have renewed their certificate or applied for a grant in the last two years to complete a new survey launched by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS).

"Instead of organic carrots having to be called organic carrots, maybe they could just be called carrots, and carrots grown with chemicals could be called chemical carrots?"
"And maybe those that grow with chemicals have to demonstrate and show the chemicals that were used in the production?"
"If that was on the supermarket packs, I wonder how our behaviour would change."

WE SUPPORT THIS... ALTHOUGH ARE LOBBYING FOR SIX POINTS
Last Tuesday, issuing 3 penalty points for littering from vehicles was debated in Parliament for the second time.
ALL 11 of the Labour MPs on the Committee voted against it. SHAME ON THEM.

Keir Starmer said this in 2023:
“Every day seems to bring a new existential risk to British farming.
“Losing a farm is not like losing any other business, you can’t come back…you deserve better than that.”
He has betrayed farmers. He has destroyed trust with rural communities. The Labour government have created new existential risks to farming - inheritance tax on family farms & compulsory purchase of land & SFI removal. Shameful.
