In Politics: (10:20) The Red Tories are continuing to Red Tory, building upon a Blair-era terror bill to now consider Palestine Action & any supporter a terrorist threat. (Article By Simon Childs)

In Music: (25:30) Using the same powers, The Red Tories are also trying to make a point out of Irish Rap group Kneecap, but this and the previous segment only highlight how dire Free Speech in Britain actually is. (Article By Christophe Domec)
