Legislate to ban participants wearing face coverings at demonstrations
Government should introduce legislation to make it an offence to attend a demonstration or counter-demonstration wearing face coverings. All participants should be showing their faces, or, be arrested so that they can be identified.

Political campaign visit by Home Secretary to support local election efforts.
Legislate to explicitly ban the Portsmouth Defence
We urge Parliament to formally abolish the homophobic Portsmouth Defence, which allowed offenders to justify violence on the basis of same sex sexual advances. This undermines the Equality Act and put LGBTQ+ lives at risk. We call for urgent legislative reform to formally ban this defence.
Stop new powers limiting repeat protests
Withdraw proposals to give police powers to restrict or ban “repeat protests". We think these measures undermine the right to free expression, peaceful assembly and democratic participation in the UK. Peaceful protest is a vital part of holding Government to account. Defend free speech.
