"It's good that the government has listened to our concerns & introduced an amendment for the Commons to have a vote on the law after six months.
However, that is not enough to give parliament proper scrutiny of the powers in this bill." - @EdwardJDavey on the Coronavirus Bill.pic.twitter.com/rDNe1SNRZC

In the government's defence (which feels wrong...), 12 weeks is pretty close to 3 months. Review on this bill is absolutely necessary, but I don't think doing so at the peak of the pandemic is going to be useful. I agree with
@EdwardJDavey, though: I'd like to see their reasons.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Parliament is largely going to become irrelevant to most people soon as basics become impossible to get. Too much waffle not enough action !!!

Sensible people: Gov needs to do more. Lib Dems: Don’t let them do that much! The time for action is now (well it was probably yesterday actually); much as we like to think the Tories are despicable (in many ways they are) but I cannot see this as a plan to create a police state.

I don't trust the Tories not to use those powers for their own nefarious purposes.

A vote on the bill in 6 months that the Tories will abuse to their wants? That’s a trap, for sure
