Palestine Action were close to getting their proscription lifted so their panel of judges have been replaced by pro-government and Zionist judges.
Not very subtle, is it?

Fresh from meddling in the Palestine Action case and getting the judge replaced, Starmer's government also wants to abolish the right to a jury trial for most cases. The UK is sliding into the abyss. Democracy and the rule of law are in peril. Fascism is on the rise.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

Starmer's government removing the judge in the #PalestineAction case only days before the hearing & replacing him with a panel carefully selected to give the 'right' result is interference in the judicial process. I see the rise of fascism. No wonder the UK is increasingly seen as corrupt #Palestine

With Starmer's government blatantly meddling in the case involving Palestine Action and REMOVING THE JUDGE, we might as well live in a dictatorship. Perhaps we now do. What's the matter Starmer? Afraid you were going to be shown up? Frightened of the rule of law?

Starmer's authoritarian government trying yet again to fix the justice system. “This raises serious questions around the lack of impartiality in our judicial system & whether this is now a pattern in significant legal cases concerning Palestine.”

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

If democracy is to survive, our economy needs to be revived, inequality has to be addressed, and financial markets must be reordered, then austerity has to come to an end: there is no alternative. That is the core of my message today

Starmer was never meant to be PM. He was merely the 'stop Corbyn' placeman. The PM was always supposed to be Streeting. It didn't work out that way and Starmer became PM by default. Now he won't let go and the country is stuck with him. #StarmerOut

I'd be very happy to see Starmer go.
But as with Johnson, I want rid of those manipulating the puppet behind the scenes. And rid of the party & their policies & ideologies.
But we must be careful what we wish for, theres no obvious better replacement so as with Johnson we could end up worse off.
