UK political leaders are debating the "globalise the intifada" chant used at pro-Palestine protests. Green Party leader Zack Polanski opposes outlawing the phrase, warning it would overly restrict freedom of speech, though he said he would not encourage people to use it. Labour leader Keir Starmer has called for tougher action against marchers using the chant following a stabbing attack on Jewish people in Golders Green last week. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said any ban would await an ongoing review of protest laws, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called for all pro-Gaza marches to be stopped.
