I’M SO VERY SORRY EVERYONE. WE CAME TOGETHER in our tens of thousands to try & stop the Government using an unprecedented abuse of power to restrict the publics right to protest. Over 55,000 of you supported us. Tonight #Labour @LabourLordsUK shamelessly ignored the publics outcry & backed the Government in its outrageous & unprecedented abuse of power by ABSTAINING on the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones. I have always supported @UKLabour but it’s refusal to join @LibDemLords & a small band of brave others across the House in backing tonights fatal motion was a disgrace. #Labour has tonight supported the Government in restricting our right to protest. I promise I & many others did all we could to persuade #Labour to join us. Tonight they refused & sided with the Government - allowing it to restrict our right to protest & use an unprecedented abuse of power to get away with it. THIS IS NOT THE END. We shall continue the fight to protect democracy and will do it without #Labour if we must. I know each & every one of you will stand shoulder to shoulder with us
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK This is a lovely photo. It's a shame it doesn't signal a win on the #FatalMotion but it does show camaraderie on the big issues of democracy and free speech.
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK So now it’s clear, it’s us or them
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK Our political system is corrupt. We need to reform the electoral system, campaign finance laws, and hold officials accountable. Democracy is at stake.
@PeterStefanovi2 @_loobyloo @LabourLordsUK The problem is that the public apathetically unaware. Only when they realise their freedoms have been withdrawn will they understand the enormity of this. And then I fear, we will have serious internal turmoil.
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK They're the same. We need new politics and new voting system. Labour want to become the enemy, fine.
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK @VoteTrueAndFair is all that's left to fix this ship, our system requires a reboot
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK So many have said it, Labour CANNOT be trusted! 😠
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK Very disappointing Peter... The future seems more depressing every day.
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK Well said Peter, God knows we tried and God knows I'll have a rant and a half to come tomorrow...Labour have been derelict in their duty and have completely disgraced themselves.
@PeterStefanovi2 @LabourLordsUK Labour Party cannot be trusted. Restricting people’s right to protest doesn’t speak well of the government let alone an opposition party. Clearly a good reason for me to switch my allegiance from Labour to another party. Certainly not the Tories.
