Yesterday, Parliament passed the Covert Human Intelligence Sources Bill.
It allows undercover police and spies to rape, abuse, torture and murder.
34 MPs bravely defied their own party whips and voted against it.
But where were the rest?
And what is Keir Starmer playing at?

The proposed new coal mine, decision to be made 20th August, has the emissions of a million citizens and would lock West Cumbria into a dying industry instead of investing in the thousands of long term, decent, well-paid, jobs.

Very bad decision!

[BBC Cumbria @BBC_Cumbria]

The government has given the go-ahead for a coal mine in Whitehaven.

The go-ahead was given locally in March but the Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, Tim Farron, asked for the decision to be called in for government scrutiny.
