UK government mulls banning MP engagement with activist groups
• Ministers considering banning MPs from engaging with groups like Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Extinction Rebellion, and Just Stop Oil • Proposals from government adviser John Woodcock say mainstream leaders should take "zero-tolerance approach" to disruptive groups • PM Sunak and Home Sec Cleverly to discuss proposals from Woodcock's review on political violence • Proposals politically convenient as they'd pressure Labour leader Starmer over his party's stance on pro-Palestine demos • Shadow cabinet members say Labour must give more attention to Gaza situation and anger felt by Muslims over party's position on Israel
