ACTIVISTS threw red paint across the entrance to the offices of Cambridge Labour HQ today in protest against the party’s “regressive stance on several key issues.”

Protesters sprayed the words “Is this really the lesser of two evils?” next to Alex Wood Hall two days before local elections take place.

One of the key issues the campaigners voiced anger over was Labour’s “complicity in Israel’s genocide in Palestine” and local MP Daniel Zeichner’s “long history of ignoring local environmental groups.”

This is Not A Drill said in a statement: “The Labour Party has failed to call for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

“Additionally, Labour has dropped its green investment pledge, backed draconian new police powers, failed to offer adequate solutions to the cost-of-living crisis, and suppressed progressive and pro-union voices within the party.

“Labour has not provided voters with any meaningful alternatives to genocide, immense social inequality and climate collapse.

“[The party] must rethink its participation in the race to the bottom that it is currently engaged in with the Conservatives.”
