"Procedural manoeuvres"? What a cheek. Actually, Lords tabling amendments ARE following the procedure, for a Private Members' Bill, and it's the procedure itself that creates time limits for discussion. Maybe letter signatories can tell us WHICH AMENDMENTS they think are…
NEW: In a joint letter, senior peers including 3 former cabinet secretaries and 3 former Lords speakers have warned peers not to use procedural manoeuvres to thwart the assisted dying bill. With 1,100+ amendments tabled, they warn the reputation of Parliament is on the line.

Plans to introduce #DigitalID cards are being hotly debated. 📲Do we want to live in a (virtual) ‘papers please’ society? 📲Or are concerns with digital ID overblown? Come to #BattleFest & have your say with @alanvibe, Morgan Wild @tiffanyjenkins 🎟️➡️tinyurl.com/w4kzkpr2
I know you're worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. Digital ID is another measure to make it tougher to work illegally here, making our borders more secure. Ours is a fairer Britain, built on change, not division.
Thank you to @montie for this thoughtful response to the interview with Lucy Connolly by @AllisonPearson and me at @reformparty_uk conference. Lucy’s case is far from straight-forward - but for my money she should never have been sent to prison. And, as Tim says, it may be that…

Compared to the old ideological terrorism, the recent trend of seemingly random stabbings or vehicle attacks forces us to think again. @baylissbaghdad delivered a superb lecture yesterday. How should we understand nihilistic “lone wolf” attacks?
Citizenship doesn’t seem to many anything today. Who is British? What is Englishness? Dolan Cummings gives a lecture aiming to disentangle the contemporary complexities around citizenship and belonging.
Oh Owen Jones, listen to yourself once in a while.
One of the most articulate take-downs of EDI I've ever heard, from NHS psychiatric nurse Julia Taylor. As always, it's rank & file front line workers who speak common sense not lanyard wearing class of managers & TU officials who are corrupting Health Service with diversity guff
'You've just shot into the top 10 of my favourite guests on this entire channel!' @MartinDaubney applauds and is left stunned by Julia Taylor’s explanation of why DEI initiatives fail in the NHS, highlighting how ‘people are crying out’ for common sense.
Thank you to all participants and speakers for another successful Living Freedom Summer School. From the decline of private life to the rise of populism, plenty to discuss. We hope you stay in touch, and keep fighting for freedom in an age where it is far from straightforward!
