Great reminder from @johnharris1969 about how easy it is for us to get trapped in political echo chambers #UnlockMagnaCarta

Lobbying is a democratic right but we need transparency - Tamasin Cave #UnlockMagnaCarta
UD Live Events retweeted
The heroic Tamasin Cave from @spinwatch - "corporate lobbyists planned take over of UK health for years, schools are coming next."
Markets rely on the principle of buyer beware that can't be our relationship with doctors when we need treatment - DM #UnlockMagnaCarta
Replying to @AlexRunswick
@AlexRunswick @Live_UD @UnlockDemocracy @Spinwatch completely. But that's a more nuanced point that hadn't yet emerged :) #UnlockMagnaCarta
Replying to @MLBrook
.@MLBrook @Live_UD yes that's why @UnlockDemocracy & @Spinwatch think we should also be incl in lobbying transparency #unlockmagnacarta

And by 'campaigner' I mean 'progressive campaigners'... (ran out of characters) #UnlockMagnaCarta
Campaigners are also 'lobbyists'. And the effective ones are also very good at getting their messages in the media.. #UnlockMagnaCarta

To privatise the public sector you have to either persuade public servants or sideline them - Tamasin Cave #unlockmagnacarta
Good lobbying - things that I push for & things I agree with. Bad lobbying - things you push for & things I disagree with. #UnlockMagnaCarta
The corporate takeover of the public realm is decades long as we have seen in both education and health - Tamasin Cave #unlockmagnacarta
