🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.
This is worse than we feared.

UK Gov is trusting private capital to save us from climate breakdown—covering up to 90% of the cost👇
Some on the right will agree with this approach.
BUT it only works if companies are incentivised to do the right thing.
How then can Gov justify giving 84% tax relief for oil & gas investment? 👇👇
