| Since the election, we have seen how a right-wing Tory Government will run our country without the Liberal Democrats to reign them in. There is no better example of this than their plans to ditch the Human Rights Act (HRA).Next week the Lib Dems are leading debates in Westminster about the Human Rights Act. So far, more than 27,000 people have backed our campaign to save the HRA. Please do the same by signing here:

The HRA was drafted by British lawyers in the aftermath of the Second World War, and gives us so many fundamental protections that we rely on in our day to day lives.
It has held the state to account for spying on us, safeguarded our soldiers and supported peaceful protest. It’s helped rape victims, defended domestic violence victims, guarded against slavery, protected elderly couples in care and shielded press freedom.
If, like me, you want to continue to protect those vital freedoms then please sign our petition today by clicking the link below. You can also read my speech to full council from last week by clicking here.
