Sadly these freedoms were under attack even during Labour’s time in power. They also want more restrictions and windfall taxes on tech firms then we do already. GCHQs Mastering the internet program started under Labour.
I’m not saying that the Tories are angels in all this, far fucking from it (Their current porn law is more fucking stupid than the last). But Labour laid the ground work and the Tories fucking ran with it. Labour's stance on Article 11 and 13(renamed 17) was to pass them. In my area only one MEP from the "mainstream" parties voted against Article 11, 13/17 and he is conservative, the others who voted against in my area were independent and UKIP. Not a single Labour MEP in my area voted against them.
Tory cuts have massively increased poverty and is currently causing a spike in prostitution due to delayed benefits payments. knife crime is at all-time high due to theresa may's cuts to police force
