Anarchist News Review: Labour hammers protest and Tories hammer each other

Freedom News - Thursday, October 9, 2025
MIke and Simon discuss the opportunism which has been on display in the aftermath of the stabbing attack at a mosque in Manchester, and the miserable Tory party conference

After Manchester, we saw police, the media and Labour arguing that somehow this should justify not protesting against the butchery of Gaza, then shortly afterwards, the new Home Secretary started talking about bans against “regular protests” that quite obviously are directed against the Palestine protesters. Most recently Keir Starmer has gone so far as to suggest “inflammatory chants” should go in the ban pot. He plans to consult members of the Jewish community—presumably not the ones who attend the protests.

Meanwhile at Tory conference, every headline that’s come out of the conference has been miserable. Not just the content but the tone. From nobody being there (including protesters) to Kemi Badenoch having to make excuses for Robert Jenrick’s racism.
