"After the coronavirus: the case for a new political movement in the UK": Pirate Tam Winters makes a case for a new grassroots political movement in the UK to bring about lasting change - inspired by the example of the Icelandic #PirateParty bit.ly/2XBBNVV
Digital tools exist that would allow safe, inclusive voting to take place - we should be using these all the time, but especially during a pandemic. Electronic voting does nothing to compromise the sanctity of the voting process - it's a common sense use of technology. (2/2)
Today's result against remote voting is disenfranchisement, pure and simple. A parliament that claims it cannot function without excluding a substantial portion of its members is not a democracy. (1/2)
The Pirate Party UK is calling on Public Health England to clarify the reasoning for retaining #TestandTrace data for 20 years - and who exactly will have access bit.ly/2XPYyEx
I'm looking forward to speaking on behalf of @PiratePartyUK this afternoon about the opportunities and challenges presented by e-government at #CLDigitalInclusion - and taking part in all the other thought-provoking discussions. See you there!
Retweeted by Pirate Party UK While the Pirate Party welcomes joined-up thinking in the delivery of government policies, the secrecy surrounding this process raises red flags. Government should always be transparent and accountable to citizens with its use of information.
The government's sudden scramble to collect mass amounts of user data from its GOV .UK platform raises a number of serious ethical and legal questions. More transparency is sorely needed from the government over the reasons for collecting this data and how it will be used. twitter.com/BuzzFeedUK/sta…

If you're in Frimley Green, don't forget to go out and cast your vote for Pirate Party UK candidate Gavin Crump in today's local elections! Vote for civil liberties, digital rights and freedoms - #VotePirate #LocalElections2019
We released an article on the EU Copyright Directive and its role within #Brexit in January. Now the EUCD has passed and the UK is likely to be taking part in the EU Parl elections this year, it's even more important to vote to protect your digital rights

Retweeted by Pirate Party UK John Cleese: we need Proportional Representation to #MakeVotesMatter youtu.be/VkbAmRv3wrs via @YouTube - I'm guilty of 'tactical' voting, but it doesn't make me happy. I'd love to vote for the things I truly believe in & given chance I'd put my mark with the @PiratePartyUK
Retweeted by Pirate Party UK SUCCESS! The EU copyright law with its damaging #linktax and #uploadfilters will now go to a full debate in September. But the fight isn't over yet. Join the #SaveYourInternet day of action on 26th August to make sure the EU fixes #Article11 and #Article13 twitter.com/Senficon/statu…
Great success: Your protests have worked! The European Parliament has sent the copyright law back to the drawing board. All MEPs will get to vote on #uploadfilters and the #linktax September 10–13. Now let's keep up the pressure to make sure we #SaveYourInternet!

Retweeted by Pirate Party UK One of the tragedies of our day is seeing arguments won or lost based on who cries ‘victim’ the loudest.
Valuing truth is increasingly passé.

Retweeted by Pirate Party UK The Czech Pirate Party took over 10% of the votes in the 2017 Czech general election. Could we see the same kind of shift here? Here's more on the @PiratePartyUK :
Retweeted by Pirate Party UK Pirate Party believes that the time is long past due for a proper debate on Universal Basic Income in Parliament. Done well, UBI may replace most current forms of benefit and give a safety net to those at risk of losing their job to automation. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2064…
