The Free Speech Union has identified five potential policy commitments for the next Prime Minister. They’re asking Conservative party members to reach out to all the candidates in the current leadership contest to see where they stand on each of these issues. Guido doesn’t really understand the first policy as a free speech issue, “Making sure children are not indoctrinated” by “creating an enforcement mechanism” seems to be restricting teachers’ free speech. If teachers don’t teach the syllabus then maybe the teacher is in breach of contract, that’s a different matter.

Anyway, the Free Speech Union have built a handy little web-form to allow you to email candidates to find out where they stand on free speech issues. If you want to find out where Rishi, Liz, Penny, Kemi and Tom stand on free speech, ask them here.
