Tories crack down on Labour councils that boycott Israel
THE Tories launched a crackdown this weekend on Labour councils who boycott Israel and the arms trade.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark moved to ban authorities from joining boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns, claiming that it cost British jobs and “poisoned” community relations.
“Divisive policies undermine good community relations, and harm the economic security of families by pushing up council tax,” said Mr Clark.
