Following the Manchester terror attack on Thursday that claimed the lives of two Jewish people, Prime Minister Keir Starmer came out in support of the Jewish community, pledging to do ‘everything’ in his power to protect them against anti-semitism. As part of this, he called for the postponement of the Defend Our Juries anti-ban protest to ‘respect the grief of British Jews.’ Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, also called the demonstration ‘un-British’, while Scotland Yard chief, Sir Mark Rowley warned it would “likely create further tensions and some might say lack sensitivity.” The Met Police also wrote to Defend Our Juries on Friday, asking them to delay the protest due to the toll on police resources which were needed to provide “visible reassurance and protective security” around Jewish communities. The incident on Thursday saw a car-ramming and stabbing outside a Manchester synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. The suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie was out on bail after a rape arrest and was shot by police at the scene, with one of the victims also shot by police fire. But what did protestors think of the attack and criticisms being directed at them? I headed down to Trafalgar Square to find out. #antisemitism #protest #manchester #britishpolitics #palestine

A prominent activist organisation with links to Labour encourages children to report each other for “signs of hatred“. In a new twist in the free speech crisis gripping Britain, leftist activist group Hope Not Hate has published material suggesting school children should report “signs of hatred” in their peers. Just after Labour entered power Hope not Hate – which boasts members of the government among its prominent supporters – suggested in a report that “hateful attitudes” could be dealt with in schools via anonymous reports from children: “Young progressives could also be encouraged to be “champions” of particular causes in their schools and more widely, being trained to understand and report signs of hatred in fellow pupils and support those who are affected.” HNH has also published as follows: “Speech which causes division and harm is often defended on the basis that to remove it would undermine free speech. However, in reality, allowing such speech to be disseminated only erodes the quality of public debate.” On that front Hope not Hate has stated regulatory authorities and social media platforms should have to inspect people’s private communications where “strong evidence” of potential harm was “brought to the regulator by the public and civil society groups who monitor extremist activity.” #racism #ukpolitics #fyp #ukschool #ukgovernment

492 people were arrested on Saturday at the ‘largest ever’ protest against the banning of Palestine Action since its proscription in July. I headed down to Trafalgar Square to ask people why they were risking arrest for the cause. #protest #palestine #trafalgarsquare #britishpolitics #london

Calling the decision “agonising” and the “hardest I’ve ever had to make in my life,” Nadine Dorries has made the switch to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party tonight. Serving as culture secretary and health minister under Boris Johnson, Dorries was known as a close ally of the Conservative Prime Minister but has criticised both Rishi Sunak and Kemi Badendoch’s leadership since stepping down as an MP in 2023. Her defection is the latest in a string of Conservative moves to reform, with Welsh Secretary David Jones and ex-Tory Chairman Sir Jake Berry preceding her. #politicsuk #fyp #reform #nadinedorries #britishpolitics

A meeting of members from the “Coalition of the Willing” is slated to occur in Paris this Thursday with Macron and Starmer acting as co-chairs of the summit. Some 30 European countries will converge on the French capital to discuss "work on security guarantees for Ukraine.” The French presidency further stated that the talks will help to “take stock of the consequences to be drawn from Russia's attitude, which stubbornly refuses peace." #politicsuk #fyp #ukraine #russia #zelensky
