    The sad thing is I’m not sure Labour will reverse (m)any of these policies if they take power in the next election.

      Labour have said they will reverse them. Starmer was cagey on the protest laws though. I believe he said that the old laws were not strong enough.

      I been following politics for about six months now. What the Tories have done here is nothing compared to the US. Considering how the Tories are mirroring the US in tactics, it is kind of scary how far they were prepared to go.

        Anything you think is worse in the US, then give it 5 years and it’ll be there.

          It most certainly will if the Tories get in again. My fear is that they will take this run as a learning experience. The next time they gain power they could be successful in their desire to hold absolute power. You only have to look at Trump and remember the Tories take all their advice from the Republican’s lead.
