Viewers may recall that this was the kit my (then) police constable nephew was inadvertently sprayed with whilst trying to arrest an assault suspect.
He described the sensation

He successfully restrained his 'client'

New petition: Restore the Electoral Commission's Independence
We want ministers stripped of any powers related to the Electoral Commission’s budget and strategy. Parliament must restore the independence the Commission had pre-2022, and guarantee it can operate free from any political influence.
