The right to peaceful assembly and protest is a fundamental human right. It has always been a crucial part of our democratic society.
But the Tories want to take away thiese rights, with a new law that will ban protests that are deemed "annoying."
Patrick Keating, LibDem spokesperson for Weston and the Villages said: "Yesterday Weston's Tory MP voted in favour of Priti Patel's law to ban "annoying" protests. Is it because he finds local protests about saving our A&E, feeding poor children & fighting climate change "annoying?
These new laws are part of the Conservative Government's anti-democratic attempts to silence any opposition to its policies. Liberal Democrats, will fiercely fight them at every step of the way."
