Police have been granted extra powers by the government to impose conditions on repeat protests.
Revealed on Sunday, the plans will see police forces granted wider powers by the Home Secretary over how protests are policed and organised.
The news comes less than 24 hours after police made nearly 500 arrests as pro-Palestine supporters took to the streets of central London.
In a letter from the Home Office, Ms Mahmood said the country is facing “a period of heightened tensions and division” and the changes are needed to “tackle the repeated disruptive protests we have seen”.
Many, however, have expressed concern that the move is a sign of a shift toward authoritarianism from Starmer’s government, so we handed our listeners the mic.
