Dear John

The Government has published its plan in the Queen’s Speech

And they think you have too many rights

This week’s Queen’s Speech showed us the Government is planning to use this Parliament to push through even more terrifying, authoritarian legislation. Legislation that will weaken our rights and strengthen their power to act without scrutiny. 

Set down a marker with your MP today. Let them know that you are paying attention and this matters to you.

The British Bill of Rights would replace the Human Rights Act and looks set to diminish rather than enhance ordinary people’s rights. While the text of the Bill has not yet been released, the Government consultation on the Bill implies they believe Britons have too many rights, with the consultation complaining about the ‘rights culture’ we have in the UK. 

As well as clamping down on individual rights, this Bill looks set to take power away from individuals seeking to challenge public bodies or Government decisions through the courts. 

And the proposed Brexit Freedoms Bill seems designed not to actually fix the problems Brexit has caused but to give the Government extraordinary new powers to unilaterally repeal and change retained EU legislation without parliamentary scrutiny.

We need to tackle this legislation before it even enters Parliament and make sure MPs know the public doesn’t support it. MPs have to be told that they must challenge the Government’s authoritarianism before they face their constituents at the next election.

So email your MP today to let them know that you know what the Government has planned - and that you need them to challenge it.

It takes less than two minutes to use our tool to send a bespoke message to your MP. So click the button above and start taking a stand before the Government is expecting you to.
