Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk · 6h There are a number of events taking place in London this weekend.
Anyone attending should be aware that officers policing these will act where criminal offences, including those related to support of proscribed groups or organisations, are committed.
Courageous move by Keir Starmer, in the Yes Minister sense.
Seriously though it’s just such an absurd overreaction. They hemorrhaging off their own politicians! They’re arresting 84 year old upper class priests!
I think it’s a massive misstep by the govt. They are pushing PA organising underground for the moment, but dont seem to acknowledge how it will just re-emerge with a new name and new spokespersons just like National Front did.
All the while they’ve publicly and openly shit the bed trying to look tough like a school prefect who got picked on a few too many times. It doesn’t make them look good to the fascists, their own base, or anyone really.
I don’t think he expects to get re-elected anyway.
oh he will get re-elected, no different to how the neoliberal and fascist caucus won reelection in the US for over a generation.
Who’d vote for Reform-lite when they can vote for Reform?
most polling orgs are predicting a reform win
they are the overt fascists
