đź”´ In July this year #DataReformBill was introduced in the House of Commons. The Bill was this govt's spin off of #GDPR

But it has now hit the brakes, announcing a revamp of the Bill. What were the plans so far & what will change?

The announcement of changes to existing GDPR replacement came from Michelle Donelan.

Speaking about this at the #ToryConference, she said, "we will be replacing GDPR with our business and consumer-friendly, British data protection system" /2

She also said that data adequacy will be retained "so businesses can trade freely."

But many are worried an added regulatory regime on top of the EU's GDPR will only add to the woes of UK businesses working with EU countries. /3

Queen Liz and the enormous Pie!

(A story in far too many tweets)

Once upon a time there was a lady who believed she was Queen.

Her name was Queen Liz (which was unfortunate) and she spoke with her ministers and told them she had a great idea.
“I have a great idea!” she said, “We are going to get all the peasants to work on an enormous pie!”, “Hooray!!!” they all shouted especially Jacob, the minister for considering people peasants.

My hot take for who the #caretakerprimeminister should be: @theresa_may
... Bear with me.

#brexitshambles #toryconference #rebelalliance
@theresa_may Reason 1/5: She won't want it. That makes her perfect. Been there, done that, hated it. No chance of her trying to make a power grab. Keeps things neutral for the election.
@theresa_may Reason 2/5: No-one will want her to do it. She is universally hated We're never going to find someone everyone wants; why not someone no-one wants? Equality, innit?
