Jetzt ist SIP an der Reihe

Es soll niemand glauben, dass die Interamerikanische Pressegesellschaft (SIP) ein Synomym für Journalismus ist und noch viel weniger, dass sie die Presse vertritt. Sie hat vielmehr den Auftrag, die Interessen der Eigentümer der großen Medienmonopole zu verteidigen

IT-Sicherheitsgesetz 2.0: Wir veröffentlichen den Entwurf, der das BSI zur Hackerbehörde machen soll

Das ist ein Interessenkonflikt, denn Polizei und Geheimdienste wollen Sicherheitslücken ausnutzen, beispielsweise für Staatstrojaner. Die Bonner Behörde hat bereits staatliche Schadsoftware mitprogrammiert, aber öffentlich eine Beteiligung abgestritten.

Der neue Entwurf verbietet dem BSI nicht, Sicherheitslücken geheim zu halten und an Hacker-Behörden wie das BKA oder den BND zu geben. In Zukunft soll die Behörde eine Rolle beim „Hack Back“ spielen.

Deutschlands Partner-Sultanat

Deutschland intensiviert seit Jahren seine Beziehungen zu dem aktuell heftig kritisierten Sultanat Brunei. Brunei stößt international auf Protest, seit Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah angekündigt hat, die Todesstrafe für außerehelichen Geschlechtsverkehr und für Homosexualität einzuführen. Das entsprechende Gesetz ist am heutigen Mittwoch in Kraft getreten. Die Hohe Kommissarin der Vereinten Nationen für Menschenrechte, Michelle Bachelet, hat es als „grausam und unmenschlich“ verurteilt.

Chris White: The Letwin-Cooper Bill would have constitutional consequences far beyond Brexit

On rare occasions, in times of great urgency, the Commons has concertinaed legislation in a single day. The Official Secrets Act was passed in just a few minutes in 1911 – apparently the Minister explained “in two sentences…that the measure should be passed”, whilst Committee, Report and Third Reading sailed by without a single intervention. Clearly this is a different situation, but the precedent exists for all stages to be debated in a day – certainly other Bills have been debated in a very short space of time.

The Cooper-Letwin bill to stop no-deal Brexit is a dangerous distraction

The bill was published on Tuesday and the idea is that today the Commons will carve out parliamentary time for it to pass through the house and even – if all goes to plan – start its progress though the Commons. Let’s assume, ambitiously, it can clear the House of Commons on Thursday and the House of Lords on Friday and receive royal assent the same day.

Tory MPs suggesting indicative vote at 5pm at the 1922 committee on the PM’s leadership. (They can’t hold a formal process because December’s vote gives May a one year grace period). Asked one rhetorically: “A lot of anger this afternoon.” “No,” he replied. “It’s fury.”

Tory MPs launch bid to kick Theresa May out TODAY after soft Brexit bid

Sources said the MPs believe desperate action is needed before Downing Street thrashes out a soft Brexit compromise with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. One said: “They’re saying this is about the survival of the party itself.”

The ballot wouldn‘t be officially binding – but if Mrs May lost it could speed up her departure from No10.
