Caroline Lucas has called Suella Braverman’s Public Order Bill “a truly staggering attack on our right to protest… a blatant attack on political community – on the vital networks of people involved in keeping protest movements alive.”
Among other things, it would mean that people suspected of planning protests could be electronically tagged.
The Public Order Bill goes to the House of Lords this week. Our Green peers Jenny Jones and Natalie Bennett led the opposition to Priti Patel’s Policing Bill in the Lords and succeeded in getting many of its worst clauses thrown out.
