Behaviour considerably closer to accepted definitions of terrorism than were any of the actions of Palestine Action
The ‘Raise the Colours’ campaign, widely praised by politicians and commentators as a "grassroots" campaign for "unity" has now pivoted to harassing migrants and charity workers on the beaches of France.
Activists were seen stabbing dinghies and releasing dogs to intimidate migrant and aid workers

Maria Farmer mentioned Trump as a person of interest to the FBI in 1996.
Trump has said (with trademark emotional shallowness) avoiding STDs in the 1990s was his “personal Vietnam”.
How much of his “military” strategy involved targeting innocent underage girls he thought less likely to be infected?

If you think this is about free speech - rather than a wilful goading by money and power of a screwed over minority - just ask yourself how the media would cover this story if Alice Sullivan was an anti-semite and these were Jewish students rightly protesting at her being invited onto their campus.

This Labour government chose to leave 1.5m children in poverty for 18mths longer than they needed to, because there were “more important things”.

Who remembers the starmer operation pushing Sadiq under the bus over ulez
Sadiq gets a lot of stick (some entirely justified) but he’s been an utter zealot for clean air via ULEZ, been re-elected twice, and it’s meant fewer kids dying from asthma, and you can see the stars again.
And the air is noticeably cleaner! Literally we can all breathe better thanks to the law!
