Welcome to Navaralive. I'm Michael Walker. I'm joined by Ash Sarkar. Moments before we went live,

0:22.4

you were telling me your Angela Raina take, so you've got 30 seconds. Oh, my Angela Raina take.

0:28.2

Well, my first take is that it's quite extraordinary that he had the housing minister and the

0:32.0

homelessness minister both have to resign because of their own housing arrangements. One is a tragedy.

0:38.3

Two begins to look like carelessness. But I think the central question of whether or not she deliberately

1:37.7

We will be talking about Angela Rainer's potential replacements later on in the show.

Straight into our first story.

2:05.8

Around 1.5,000 people peacefully broke Britain's anti-terror law in Parliament Square on Saturday.

2:13.7

As Big Ben struck 1 o'clock above Parliament, a vast crowd gathered in front of it on Parliament Square to write their illegal signs, armed only with the message, I oppose genocide, I support Palestine action, the protesters peacefully sat on the grass, or under the statues the state has erected to other figures it previously called terrorists,
