Richard AshwellGood Law Project: Remove the government’s adviser on protest
Lord Walney advises the government on #protest but his conflicts of interest warrant his removal.
Lord Walney was appointed to advise the government on political violence and disruption. His report urged the government to focus their attention on those campaigning on the #climate crisis and protesting for Palestine.
But whilst making these recommendations, Walney was being paid by lobbying organisations whose clients include #oil and #gas companies and those selling #weapons to #Israel.
If Labour is serious about cleaning up politics, it must remove Walney urgently and investigate him for conflicts of interest.
Please sign the petition and share.

Remove the government's adviser on protest - Good Law Project
Lord Walney was appointed to advise the government on political violence and disruption. 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. But whilst making these recommendations, Walney was being paid by lobbying organisations whose clients include oil and gas companies and those selling weapons to Israel. Labour must follow through on their promise to restore trust in politics by removing Lord Walney and investigating him for conflicts of interest.
