Can anyone look at the events of the Sarah Everard Vigil and conclude that the police need more powers? Apparently the government do. Yet the police have beaten up participants in peaceful assemblies since the 1960s to my personal knowledge and I suspect it has been going on much longer.
They don't need extra powers.
It is rumoured that Labour will start acting like an opposition over these draconian measures. It would make a change.
John McDonnell tweeted "Labour now voting against the Tories’ Police and Crime Bill. Thank you to all those who have forced this u turn. We now need the Tories to withdraw this Bill and tell Johnson & Priti Patel that this is no time to play petty party politics with our civil liberties & our security."
