IT has not taken long for this government to show its true colours. The Queen’s Speech and accompanying first few weeks of Parliamentary business from Boris Johnson’s government show two things very clearly.
Firstly, it has starkly illustrated how this government has a right-wing, divisive and reactionary agenda across the board.
Secondly, it also shows how concerned the Tories are about the potential for mass resistance to this agenda, which means they are seeking to neutralise or weaken the potential space for any such possible resistance in advance.
One clear example this week was the indefensible decision to list Extinction Rebellion (XR) as an extremist group, a decision that strikes at our very right to protest.
