The Metropolitan Police has said it will stop arresting people for expressing support for Palestine Action but that it will still gather evidence for potential "enforcement at a later date"
It said it was recognising "unusual circumstances" of the ban being ruled unlawful but remaining in force

When you begin a statement with "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people..." you are absolutely NOT apologising. You are trying to excuse yourself.
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology

Honestly, the list of things that a Culture Secretary could get involved in, if we had one, is *HUGE*.
There’s oversight of the British Library to add to your non list… www.cityam.com/the-british-...
The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity
