Protest is fundamental to democracy - it must be protected.
The government should be safeguarding our right to protest, not eroding it with more draconian powers.

Our council tax system is broken, unjust & based on outdated 1991 property values.
In Liverpool Riverside, families pay up to 3x more of their home’s value in council tax than those in the wealthiest areas. It’s time for a fairer system.
