Tucker Carlson slams UK's Palestine Action ban, calls Keir Starmer 'enslaved'

Prominent https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us" target="_blank">American journalist Tucker Carlson has condemned the https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">British government's ban on the direct action group Palestine Action in an interview with the BBC.

Speaking on Sunday morning, BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire asked Carlson, a former Fox News host who has been a staunch critic of the https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/war-on-iran" target="_blank">US-Israeli war on https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/iran" target="_blank">Iranhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/war-on-iran" target="_blank">, whether British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made the right decision.

"I don't think Keir Starmer makes any calls about anything," Carlson replied.

"I mean, Keir Starmer's not in control of Britain."

Carlson added: "No, Keir Starmer is every bit as enslaved as Donald Trump is.

It is illegal - it is a crime for which you can be arrested - in Britain right now, criticising Israel.

If you say you're for Palestine Action, you can be arrested.
