Over £10,000,000 of public money has been spent policing the proscription of Palestine Action.
The Labour Party has spent £700,000 defending the ban in court - and will spend more appealing the ruling that it’s unlawful.
That money could fund more than 3,500,000 free school meals.

An important thing to know about Gorton and Denton: in 2024, Reform and the Conservatives *combined* got less than 25% of the vote.
Reform only wins this seat with both a breakthrough and a catastrophic failure of coordination on the left. Might that happen?
