PALESTINE campaigners were jubilant today as the Welsh government announced its opposition to the Tory “anti-boycott Bill.”

The Welsh government has announced it is formally opposing Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Secretary Michael Gove’s toxic anti-boycott Bill and has recommended the Senedd withhold legislative consent. 

This follows months of campaigning by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and a coalition of more than 70 civil society organisations to demand the Welsh government and Senedd oppose the Bill.
