Hi @andyburnham even Irvine Welsh is calling out Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper's policy which has now seen over 3,600 arrested for non violent protest Like Baron Hain I've never supported the group, and like @IrvineWelsh I had only really heard of them when your predecessors decided to proscribe them. "They've broadened the definition of terrorism to the extent that it's absolute nonsense.. It's made young people feel: this country, what is it actually about" "1% of their activities involved breaking into places where people manufacture weapons of mass destruction" "You've got trespass and criminal damage, you don't need to proscribe them as terrorists, it's crazy" "They're not terrorists. Terrorists are people that bomb people and blow people up, they're not people who break into missle manufacturers to stop people bombing people and blowing people up" Andy Burnham, this is a moment for leadership. You have the power to challenge a policy that has led to thousands of arrests for peaceful protest. If you stay silent and let it continue, you won’t just inherit this record, it will become part of your legacy, as it's Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper's legacy. Will you act, or leave others to defend the civil liberties Labour once stood for?
