@tom_watson@aral from where we’re standing it looks like the vital organs of the UK digital economy are about to be ripped out. -

@tom_watson@aral I can’t understand why you would not at least go on record as having opposed it rather than abstaining. -

@aral@tom_watson remember that Labour pushed laws like this when they were in power. Little has changed. -
@johnleach@aral How can I forget? I opposed much of them. -
@tom_watson@aral so what +has+ changed is that you can no longer oppose them? Doesn't seem like progress to me.
