Thousands expected to attend next protest against Palestine Action ban, organiser say

THOUSANDS of people are expected to attend the next protest against the banning of Palestine Action under terror laws.

Announced today and planned for September 6, organisers Defend Our Juries (DOJ) are hopeful that the demonstration could lead to the ban on the direct action group being lifted, with Yvette Cooper losing her job as home secretary.

At least 532 people — half aged over 60 — were arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action, after an estimated 1,000 took part last weekend. 

…

Today, a spokesman for DOJ said: “With all the real challenges facing the country, it is absurd that the Labour government has generated a political crisis over people quietly holding cardboard signs against genocide in Parliament Square. This won’t be forgiven or forgotten.

“In a desperate attempt to justify their position, Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper have resorted to lying to the public about Palestine Action, claiming it to be a violent organisation, which they know to be false.

“The political ineptitude is staggering. The only beneficiaries of this policy — the brain-child of Lord Walney, a paid lobbyist — are the Israeli government and Elbit Systems, the main manufacturer of the weapons of genocide, with factories across Britain.

Starmer must expel Israeli ambassador, say Scottish Greens

 Israeli ambassador to Britain Tzipi Hotovely arrives at BBC Broadcasting House in London, to appear on the BBC One current affairs programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, June 15, 2025

SCOTTISH Greens have called for Sir Keir Starmer to expel Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely as they renew their calls for an end to political and military support for the “genocidal assault on Gaza.”

The party’s co-leader Lorna Slater made the remarks after the Prime Minister urged the Netanyahu regime to “reconsider” the escalation of its attack on Gaza, despite his government supplying the Israelis with the military intelligence and armaments necessary to continue an operation which has so far cost tens of thousands of lives. 

She said: “The UK government has not been a detached observer in the genocide against Gaza, it has been an active participant.

“Urging restraint is not enough, the hypocrisy must end. The arms sales must stop and so must the military collaboration and political support that has gone with them.

“That must mean backing sanctions against Israeli forces and expelling the Israeli ambassador who has served as a mouthpiece for genocide.

“This has been a disgraceful chapter in UK foreign policy and has made the Prime Minister and his colleagues complicit in some of the worst war crimes of this century.”

Britain is an ‘active participant’ in Gaza genocide, say leading British Jews

British Jews protest against the Gaza genocide and Britain’s role in it, Whitehall, London, August 5, 2025

BRITAIN is “not just complicit, but an active participant” in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, activists said today during a rally by British Jews against the crackdown on Palestine solidarity protests.

Dozens of activists, Holocaust descendants and campaigners gathered outside Downing Street to condemn the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation and the restrictions on protests imposed under the guise of protecting the rights of Jewish people.

Speeches were delivered, songs sung and poems read out — including some written by Palestinian children.

…

Speaking at the rally, former South African MP and anti-arms campaigner Andrew Feinstein called his constituent MP, the Prime Minister’s actions “shameful.”

“The reality is that Britain, under Keir Starmer’s government, is not just complicit in a genocide — it is an active participant in that genocide,” he said.

“The RAF now, through an American leasing company, is flying more spy flights over Gaza than the Israeli Air Force itself.

“That is not complicity, that is active participation, and this is being done in our names, using our tax pounds.”

Morning Star Editorial: Reeves’s Corbyn jibes show up a government in denial

 Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves during a visit to Rolls Royce at Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, July 25, 2025

AN EARLY exchange at the Edinburgh Fringe exposes this government’s inability to read the public mood — underlining how real a threat to it a new Jeremy Corbyn-led movement is.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves denied being complacent about the Your Party initiative launched by Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, but her bland dismissal of its prospects oozed complacency.

Oddly. Since Reeves had just stated that Labour’s main rival was not the Conservative Party — which she derided as “irrelevant” — but a new party of the right, Reform UK. And she was replying specifically to her host asking whether Your Party could become a “Reform of the left.”

Opinion polls suggest it could, though it is unlikely to bask in the approval of the billionaire press or receive the season tickets to BBC Question Time Nigel Farage’s projects enjoy. Movements intended to “take on the rich and powerful,” as Corbyn says a new left party would, face Establishment and state obstruction of a different order. However, that was not among Reeves’s reasons for belittling it.

No, the Chancellor disputes the idea that a project with 700,000 sign-ups is popular at all. She casts doubt on the figures, saying her sister received an email telling her she’d signed up when she hadn’t.

Such errors might occur. And enthusiasts for a new party can read too much into the stats: they are expressions of interest only, many will be in existing parties, and saying you want to be added to an email list does not imply the commitment of paid-up membership. But Reeves, in insinuating the mass appeal of Your Party is an illusion, doth protest too much.

…

Labour, still the largest party in Britain, is not finished; it is even, despite its leadership’s best efforts, still the party to which more socialists belong than any other.

But if anything is designed to entrench its dismal polling, encourage a member exodus to a new left party and unmoor it from what remains of its social base, it is the wilful blindness to the popular clamour for radical change exhibited by Reeves.
