Following the evidence, wherever it leads and speaking truth to power.
Reports and Projects
-
Voter ID Inquiry
APPG INQUIRY: Voter ID is a “poisoned cure” and requires fundamental reform.
-
The Bill of Rights Bill
PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: The Bill of Rights Bill fundamentally misunderstands the nature of human rights, empowers the executive to break the law, and the case in favour is spurious in the extreme.
-
Money and Democracy Report
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP: Those with means are able to exert outsized influence on our politics. This is undemocratic. To fix the problem it is proposed to (1) cap political donations, (2) make the courts the final arbiter of politicians’ ethics, and (3) prohibit politicians from voting or speaking on issues where they have a financial conflict.
-
Judicial Independence Inquiry
APPG INQUIRY: Government attacks on judges are constitutionally problematic.
-
The Clapham Common/Bristol Inquiry
APPG Inquiry: Police violated fundamental rights and misapplied the law in their responses to the protests on Clapham Common and in Bristol in March 2021
-
The Covert Human Intelligence Sources Bill
PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: The bill is unnecessary and substantially expands the unaccountable coercive power of the state.
-
The Genocide Amendment
PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: This amendment would represent an original and potentially world-leading approach to deterring genocide. While the drafting might be improved in some areas, the amendment will mostly function as drafted.
-
The PCSC Bill
PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: The Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Bill contains many measures which may be welcomed but will also substantially restrict the right to protest
-
The Overseas Operations Bill
PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: This bill is based on poor quality research. It will limit our ability to prosecute war criminals and leave our servicemen and women unable to gain redress when injured as a result of MoD negligence.
