Received a response fro our front bench #Labour MP in response to our reply to his reply to our letter condemning ban on #PalestineAction.
Predictable, but at least, to our surprise he did use the word #genocide.

The Metropolitan Police said it faced “entirely unrealistic” challenges in policing a protest in support of Palestine Action at which more than 500 people were arrest
But will #Cooper and the #Labour #maladministration admit a mistake (and hand back the hundreds of thousands of pounds they have received in #bribes, whoops support from groups linked to the #Israeli government? Probaly not.
#Scotland - #Librarian cuts at #Glasgow schools will 'rob kids of opportunities' as #SNP Government urged to intervene
EXCLUSIVE: #Labour warned library cuts on Scotland's largest local authority risked worsening the country's 'shameful attainment gap'.
Chris McCall Deputy Political Editor, 02 Aug 2025
Excerpt: "Glasgow Life, which manages the library service for the council, is proposing to take 16 librarians out of the city's education system. The plans would see the school service headed up by a principal librarian along with three area-based librarians, while an 'assistant' would be placed in high schools.
"An online petition against the cuts and shared among parents has since been signed more than 1,300 times.
"Joy McLean said she was concerned about how a decline in #LibraryServices would impact her daughter and other pupils. '#Librarians are essential #educators who foster a love of #reading, support research and #DigitalLiteracy, and help students thrive #academically and personally,' she added."

Does starmer realise that Palestine Action is not the Palestine Liberation Army ?
No planes hijacked or blown up - No one harmed
“Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500”
…Hardened Terrorists ?

@ambiguous_yelp:ahimsa.chat @jwildeboer This is the best coverage I have seen so far. The #police are enemies to all earthlings. The more unconscionable their job gets the more "good ones" will leave leaving the worst ones behind. But still it was interesting to see one of them look like they were about to cry #palestine #PalestineAction #GazaWar #genocide #Israel #UnitedKingdom #Labour #KeirStarmer #YvetteCooper #Protest #MetropolitanPolice #UKPolice
A protest in the US - but now very relevant in the UK

I guess Labour has the same problems as the SPD in Germany: cutting the welfare state and pursuing neoliberal policies.
In this case, the Minister for Homelessness evicted her tenants just to increase the rent by £700.
No surprise these parties are losing more and more voters.

I see the stasi… sorry I mean the police in London arrested this 89 year old terrorist yesterday. Thank goodness we could all sleep last night knowing we were safe from her.

Police arrest 466 at Palestine Action protest, beating poll tax record
Hundreds openly flouted terrorism law banning the group, including an 89-year-old Jewish refugee and a former Guantanamo Bay inmate
Slow hand clap to #Starmer, #Cooper and the #Met.
Arresting another 466 overwhelmingly non-violent protestors as ‘terrorists’ has:
1) wasted a vast amount of police time and resources
2) ensured #Labour support will drop off a cliff, thus allowing the far right to thrive
3) banged what may be the last nail in the coffin for representative democracy in the UK

When I voted for a #Labour government, I absolutely did not vote for the mass arrest of peaceful protestors. Totally despicable. I'd expect this from fear-mongering Tories or Reform, but not from what is supposed to be the Left.
