Whatever your views on monarchy, arrest of anti-royalist campaigners for exercising right to peaceful protest is chilling. Many of us warned about exactly this when govt rushed thro the illiberal public order bill. This is not what democracy looks like inews.co.uk/opinion/most-dra…

We've written to @Andrew4Pendle new Parliamentary Under Secretary of State with responsibility for @luhc Electoral Integrity Programme about ongoing concerns around tight timescales for introducing #VoterID for May 2023: bit.ly/AEALetterSept22
ALT A blue and white graphic reading: "Should there be any slip in the already tight timelines to introduce Voter ID, I continue to stress that through no fault of their own, EROs, ROs and electoral professionals will struggle to deliver the trusted elections expected of them. Voters will ultimately be the ones who suffer." Peter Stanyon, AEA Chief Executive

Democracy is not about individual glory.
It is not ‘of the person, by the person, for the person.’
It is for the people. For society. For us all.
Yet when democracies are being weakened, it's crucial to support & celebrate those providing strength.
