A City Hall meeting turned awkward when the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime mistakenly condemned violence at a Palestine Action protest, thinking it was from Unite the Kingdom demonstrators.

Kaya Comer-Schwartz was left red-faced after Councillor Susan Hall read a statement from the Metropolitan Police detailing officers being punched, kicked, spat on, and verbally abused by demonstrators.

Ms Hall said: "Some of this is alarming. I’ve been reading a statement from a Metropolitan Police commander, who noted that in carrying out their duties today, officers were punched, kicked, spat on, and had objects thrown at them by protesters.

"Would you agree, as I do, that this is an abhorrent treatment of police officers at protests?"

The Deputy Mayor said: "I completely agree with you. It’s unacceptable. You may have seen media appeals for information on some of the individuals the police are investigating.

"There will be continued inquiries into the actions that took place."

Ms Hall then said: "Absolutely. Just to clarify, the words I’ve just read were in relation to the protests on September 7, when 893 Palestine Action supporters were arrested, and 17 officers were assaulted.

Far more arrests at this far left demonstration and not as many of them. We need the government and police to ferret all these out respectable people need protecting from these far left activists. They are a danger to the UK.

Shouldn't have dropped them last time Gate but then Bailey is weak and feckless.

And they only changed it because of the outcry of the people and continued to pursue it until it became so unpopular it became an untenable policy.

When labour decided to abolish the winter fuel allowance I am sure they went through the thinktank and ran all the numbers through AI etc to see what the savings/losses would be.

The problem is they didn't consider what effect this would have morally and detrimentally to the Labour party and fiscally to pensioners just over the threshold for claiming benefits or if they did they ignored it at their peril. Common sense tells you these are critical factors in making this decision and no person applying common sense would have come to the decision they did.

However if they had come to a decision where pensioners paying the higher rate of tax didn't qualify then I am sure they would have got it through without too much fuss. The system they have now come up with to tax it is a bit of a half way house but still better than what they did. It still doesn't let them off the hook as it won't be forgotten because of what and how they implemented it originally.

The thinktank and AI didn't help them with that original decision did it? Reeves as chancellor and Starmer as pm should have seen this but it just shows how out of touch with the people they are.

Labour councillor defects to reform first Labour member to do so.

Best thing you can do Dorfan is filter him hopefully he will block everyone as well and then he can talk to himself. Much rather debate with a person than a robot who relies on a flawed system. He has been called out for being wrong before also answering something you didn't even say. Just regurgitating AI isn't critical thinking.

AI can debate itself into a standstill you have to filter out the noise and decide what is relevant and what isn't and asi is unable to do that.

Puts it into perspective Dorfan not quite the silver lining but there will be some benefits but not quite as many as some seem to think.

Lot of green lines today. I take it from the responses asi still spouting his usual rubbish.

AI taking over smacks of 1984 very worrying losing face to face contact. The computer says no:)

The one in one out was just virtue signalling Eureka it was never going to work and we pay for it as well win win for France lose lose for us but then the Labour government aren't very good at negotiating the "new" fishing deal , Chagos islands giveaway that they were under no pressure to give away but then we had Lammy as foreign secretary and if it was up to him he would give away £16 trillion in reparations but then he isn't British first:)

I have even upticked you. You are going to have to buy me a drink now:)

You are right Gotreal that is how I see it regarding the shares. Now if you will excuse me I am going to have a lie down after that statement only joking Gotreal back to watching and waiting:)

According to Kyle the labour minister Mandelson was "worth the risk". Could Labour stoop any lower endorsing an associate of a known paedophile and considering him "worth the risk". He may as well have given the job to Prince Andrew couldn't be much worse.

What was Starmer thinking well clearly he wasn't. I can't believe the women in the labour party aren't all up in arms about this and demanding Starmer resigns.

Heseinb3rg you need to rewrite that hardly any of it makes sense or even spelt correctly

STP,

I take no advice from a far left troll. My dog is way more intelligent than you. You offer nothing just abuse and name calling.

STP,

It is in the Telegraph. Can you read or would you like it translating?

£64 million per year spent on translators in the NHS. Surely it is the responsibility of the patient to provide their own translator at their own expense? Many of which are probably on benefits so should bring a family member. Hardly going to have a job if they can't speak English.

As for policing protests how much would the police have raised for charging SUTR and the pointless Palestine protests. Met would have made a fortune. Whilst people wear face coverings at marches why does it seem this is predominantly to be SUTR and Palestinian protestors and yet the police rarely if ever serve them with a dispersal notice?

You don't need to on the French side they know where they are being picked up:)

See what the end of September/October brings. Back to watching and waiting nothing much to see here until then.

Just got back from a few days at the coast rest assured you climate changers the sea is still in the same place it was but keep buying the heat pumps and electric cars to keep it there so I can still enjoy a few days there much appreciated.

Asi still spouting the same AI guff bet he is a barrel of laughs on a night out probably can't get his head out of the laptop so he can have an opinion and Labour have lost another one no surprise with their track record it must have been the Tories fault though. How on earth did clueless Starmer get where he is beggars belief.

No growth again 14 years of Tories so it must be their fault or macro economics nothing to do with Reeves. She is playing such a blinder they brought in left wing thinktank Resolution but if their ideas don't work they can always blame the tories. 14 years out of power and what a mess this government is. Two failed mps standing for deputy leader it just gets better.

The problem with people like asi is they use ai to back up or disprove other arguments. As some have posted on here that isn't always accurate.

AI gives you a counter argument and then gives extra reasons why that may have come about the critical thinker has to be able to put all that noise to one side to come up with solutions to a problem that is why many think tanks fail because they are unable to separate the wheat from the chaff and their resulting conclusions are generally weak and ineffective.

Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to resolve a particular problem and sometimes that has a knock on effect and can create issues elsewhere. The critical thinker will weigh up the pros and cons of these whereas using ai to arrive at conclusions with argue against itself to arrive at no conclusion.

He things he is being clever with his supercilious smug comments but many on here see through him and he never really grasps what the problems are using ai to do his thinking and then doctor it with his own comments to agree with it isn't forming an opinion it is being led by the nose by a computer.

Just my opinion. I don't green box him he is entertaining and it keeps him happy and helps him think he has a purpose in life
