This is part of a bigger story that hasn't had much coverage about the FCDO being cut to ribbons.
Development funding has been slashed but foreign office staff are also being reduced by 20-30%.

The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

I just had the displeasure of watching a party political broadcast on behalf of Anas Sarwar, aka The Sunday Show.
Not one question answered, just the usual diatribe; 20 yrs of incompurtence(sic) etc.
And still offering that elusive "Change"...into an English county perhaps?

Their shared mission is to destroy their respective economies and blame the everyone else for it. In that, they are the two most successful politicians of all time. Trouble is Trump's lettuce is treated with hormones and washed in chlorine.

So, as I understand it, The UKGOV are holding Palestine Action activists for upwards of 18 months without bail for non-violent charges.
Meanwhile, former Labour MP Ivor Caplin was bailed after getting caught in a paedophile-hunter sting operation. His bail continues to be extended, too!
