Very few people are arguing that PA shouldn’t be prosecuted. What they did was a serious crime, maybe even sabotage (up to life in prison).

The complaint is about proscribing them as “terrorist”. There’s no need to do that to punish them for their “serious illegality”. Stretching the Terrorism Act to proscribe “criminal damage with a cause” is well beyond how it was presented in parliament.

And doing so because a TON of money is flowing into UK politics from Tel Aviv is a real problem.

That’s where we part ways I’m afraid. There’s undoubtedly money flowing into UK politics from all sorts, and it’s a problem. I don’t need that to explain Labour being authoritarian though, that’s always been part of their position.
