Anti-apartheid activists would have been called terrorists under logic banning Palestine Action, Peter Hain says – UK politics live Labour peer says he is β€˜deeply ashamed’ his party is backing moves to ban group

Great to see Peter Hain calling out his own Labour Party for the Starmer Government’s heavy-handed proscription of #PalestineAction.

Trust in national politics is broken.

But pride in community is strong, and people want more say over what happens where they live.

We’re asking Co-op Group members to vote Yes on Motion 8 to continue their historic partnership with the Co-operative Party.
