Summary
Westminster City Councils new Conservative leader, Paul Swaddle, is under fire for his handling of pro-Palestine marches and a far-right rally. He requested a pause on the former, citing disruption and extremist messages, but was criticized for ignoring the latter. The Green and Labour parties accused him of applying double standards, highlighting racist behavior and injuries during a previous far-right march. Swaddles letter suggested a moratorium on pro-Palestine marches, but did not address the far-right demonstration. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
