We have challenged @Keir_Starmer to confirm or deny whether Labour will incorporate into law an official state defintion of #Islamophobia'.
Last week in a campaign video with @SadiqKhan, Starmer said 'I think there's more we can do in goverment'. Kahn responded: 'Your experience as a prosecutor means you'll be thinking about the strategy we can use'. Labour in its manifesto makes no mention of doing this.
Such a measure will represent a new backdoor blasphemy law and violation of our right to speak freely about religion

@LibDems Where do you stand on #freespeech? Why won't your candidates provide answers to our questions? How many more puddles of water do you plan to fall into?

So far 133 candidates across the UK have pledged their support for free speech. There is still time for the others to... Just Answer The Question! Thanks @jatqorg
⭐️ Did your future MP make the list?

They say POLITICS is downstream from CULTURE
Well, CULTURE is downstream from the ARTS
The ARTS are in crisis right now and we call for a commitment to freedom of expression.
Please share- we need Freedom in the Arts UK and worldwide.
Officialdom can override ordinary women (& men) over what they think is a man or a woman, and on that basis grant access to women's spaces. This is a free speech issue AND a freedom of association one too.
Labour kicked up such a fuss over the supposed political partiality of Tory appointees to chair quangos. It would be highly hypocritical to appoint @HarrietHarman
An interesting segment with JATQ's Marc Glendening, @lucianaberger and @andrewdoyle_com .
On the issue of yes/no questions, we've had a few grumbles from candidates who have said it's not fair to ask them.
But politicians expect to be elected on the basis of a yes/no vote (do you want this candidate yes or no?) so that they can make decisions in parliament on a yes/no basis that effect all our futures.
Should we raise taxes - yes or no?
Should we go to war - yes or no?
Should we cut spending - yes or no?
Surely they owe the electorate yes or no answers?

JATQ's Marc Glendening appeared on @andrewdoyle_com's Free Speech Nation to discuss the campaign. But would former MP @lucianaberger answer our questions?
South Yorkshire Police refuse to answer questions from us about the legal basis for them threatening with arrest the Party of Women candidate for Sheffield Heeley. They say they will only respond to a professional journo. If you are such a thing, please email them on [email protected] to get some explanation for their intervention in the democratic process. We also wanted to know if YSP had handed over money to Stonewall within the past ten years.

'We want voters to be able to see at a glance what the people they're voting for think about 5 democracy and free speech topics'
Marc Glendening is co-founder of 'Just Answer The Question', and puts these questions to former Labour MP, Luciana Berger, live on Free Speech Nation.
@K_IngalaSmith @LabWomenDec@M_Star_Online Have you asked your local candidates where they stand?
Please check out our campaign and maybe R/T if you like it?

JATQ first question asks candidates where they stand regarding the police being able to place us on 'Non Crime Hate Incident' registers on the basis of expressing entirely legal opinions.
Of the approx 120,000 individuals so listed many are women who have articulated transgender critical views. These lists can be publicly accessed for DBS checks at the discretion of the cops. This is very sinister in a liberal democracy.
The Association of Chief Constables, assisted by the College of Policing, have awarded themselves this political power with no legal basis whatsoever. This practice should now be stopped and all persons so listed removed.
