Labour have always been a bit more puritanical “for the greater good”. The Palestine Action thing is a bit more complicated because the proscription process is not exactly transparent. However there are plenty of other pro-palestine groups you can support. The people getting arrested are doing it to make a point about the proscription.

Anyone know why the UK is going in this direction? Arresting Palestine protestors and puritanical laws against pornography?
Is this some leftover from colonial times but now it hits the local poors?

I think Labour are trying to win Conservative and Reform voters, but in doing so are just pushing away anyone who might have voted for them.

Labour has always had an authoritarian/nanny-state streak; it’s not really about temporary political advantage. And the general public is also fairly illiberal, unfortunately - the porn bans and age checks are fairly popular.

Was never a fan of labour because they are always pretty authoritarian with shit like this.
