Public resources face new sell-off threats - but once we lose our public buildings and land, it's gone for good.

Petition: Release the evidence

Between them, our taxpayer-funded watchdogs have investigated allegations of corruption, foreign interference, electoral fraud, racism, and the sale of voters’ personal information. They involve people at the highest level of politics, and overshadow all of the three main parties.

Yet none of their findings will be made public until after the election on 12 December.

We’re urgently calling on the Prime Minister; the Information Commissioner; and the heads of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Independent Office for Police Conduct to release all the information they hold on these matters before 12 December.

Please sign this petition and spread the word.

Petition to: Prime Minister Boris Johnson; Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham; Equality and Human Rights Commission CEO Rebecca Hilsenrath; Michael Lockwood, Director-General, Independent Office for Police Conduct.
