I think this should have its own thread for visibility. The Data Bill is being debated this week and will introduce self ID by the back door unless an amendment is made.

Done, thanks

Done. But every time I've contacted my MP I've either been ignored or given a patronising response... this guy is in the cabinet 🙄

Thanks for flagging that up so clearly. Will do it this afternoon!

My MP is an utterly captured, relatively young Lib Dem first-timer so I seriously doubt my letter will make a blind bit of difference.

I will do it anyway, just so I can get a mealy-mouthed response in a few weeks to pass on to Maya’s team

Done. Thanks for sharing.

Not a lawyer and I have questions: how is it possible for Parliament to introduce a new law that is contradicted by current law? Doesn't anyone check, or is the responsibility of a captured Civil Service?

Already done 👍
