Bizarre authoritarian move.

Ahhhhh it’s 1920s & 30s again where we’re worried about dirty fifth columnists provocateurs who’ll ruin our domestic tranquility by * checks notes *

…being very upset about a dying planet, and an oppressed people dying a horrible and avoidable death?

I thought we figured out the actual threat during the Cambridge Analytica scandal? Or was it ‘cash for honours’? Or the Russian state/oligarch influence in Whitehall, I’ve quite forgotten which it was - anyone?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ministers are considering proposals to ban MPs and councillors from engaging with groups such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.

Rishi Sunak and James Cleverly, the home secretary, are due to discuss the proposals as part of a review conducted by Woodcock, the former Labour MP who now sits as Lord Walney, a cross-bench peer.

The prime minister was condemned by human rights groups for warning of “forces here at home trying to tear us apart” during a hastily arranged address in Downing Street on Friday.

Several sitting Labour MPs have attended PSC events – including the former shadow chancellor John McDonnell and the MP for Poplar and Limehouse, Apsana Begum.

Tories have previously engaged in talks with Extinction Rebellion, including the levelling up secretary, Michael Gove, whose department is working on the definition of extremism as part of its brief.

Starmer is already under pressure to allow Labour representatives more freedom to condemn Israel’s actions in Gaza, after George Galloway’s emphatic byelection victory on Thursday in Rochdale, where 18% of the population is Muslim.

The original article contains 672 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 73%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

WTF. So the government want it to be illegal for MPs. (Our democratic representatives) to disagree with the government publically on these subjects.

Seriosely the anti protest shit is bad enough. But this is taking the very idea of democracy and fucking it up the shitter.

Strange that people with public home addresses would do such a thing …
