The UK has announced large-scale policing reforms, including new investments into artificial intelligence and increased Live Facial Recognition (LFR) deployments.

The Home Office has pledged to fund 40 new LFR vans as part of a national program to expand facial recognition capabilities in town centres across England and Wales, according to a white paper published on Monday.

Labour is doing almost as much damage as Reform would do… nobody asked for all this nanny state shit…

Still, emphasis on the word almost. The key here is to swap out Labour candidates, not lose to reform next election.

No. You don't get to say this is ok because it's Labour. This is authoritarian power grabs. Nobody voted for this because this was never shared with the public.

Labour, Tories and Reform all need to be cast into the wilderness for decades over what's going on right now.
