THE government’s “independent” adviser on political violence and disruption has received funding from pro-Israel groups while pushing for a crackdown on pro-Palestine protests,  Declassified UK revealed today.

Former Labour MP John Woodcock — ennobled as Lord Walney for backing Boris Johnson in the 2019 election — was assigned in 2021 to produce a report investigating “the extreme fringes on both ends of the political spectrum” in Britain.

Ahead of submitting the review, Lord Walney wrote in the Sun on Sunday that he is urging Britain’s political leaders to take a “zero-tolerance approach” to pro-Palestine and climate protesters.
