It’s clear that the Met arrested people preemptively to prevent protest and that appalling new Public Order Bill gave them power to do this
Shocking to hear Tories making up lies about rape alarms and paint throwing to justify this
Authoritarian tactics to justify repression

🎂 Happy birthday Terry!
💚 You’ve been a wonderful friend to the UK in good times and bad
🥰 You’re a very special person: Enjoy your special day!
RT @TerryReintke: I was born on the day of Europe - the 9th of May 1987 🇪🇺
I was born into a EU that had been built from the ruins of war on a promise for peace, freedom, and democracy. Today, we face many challenges.
We have to fight for a common future. Together.

#WTF is going on at the Met?
Pre-emptive arrests undermined free speech and the right to protest
It seems increasingly likely that the arrests were unlawful
RT @metpoliceuk: It was not our intention to prevent protest. It is very clear a number of protests took place across the footprint both before, during and after the event with no police intervention.
Any suggestion all protest was prohibited is not correct.

Copper Marsh feebly attempting to justify outrageous police action on @BBCr4today

Really exciting for our prospects in the general election in Bristol West, the Forest of Dean and elsewhere where we are the main Challenger to the Tories

Wes Streeting thinks the policing of protest yesterday was the best of our democracy
He has no problem with the way @metpoliceuk dealt with the protest
Perhaps because Labour didn’t block the Policing Bill that enabled this

Hi @bbclaurak
The problem with not having a Green spokesperson in your studio is that everybody you talk to you about the elections is our opponent
This can’t be representative of a fair and open democracy
The many people who vote for @TheGreenParty deserve better

Embarrassing to hear @UKLabour keep repeating that there are only two parties in a general election
Hhiding behind the system because they’re not enthusing voters
This is anti-democratic and unfair
We should have the right to vote for who *we* choose

@TheGreenParty is clear that we would introduce a wealth tax on the super-rich
And tax income on investment at the same rate as income from work
