His 2024 report urged the government to focus their attention on what he calls the ‘extreme left’ – predominantly those campaigning on the climate crisis and protesting for Palestine.

Labour must follow through on their promise to restore trust in politics by removing Lord Walney and investigating him for conflicts of interest.
