The government has taken the historic first step in outlawing the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement in Britain.
Amid protests from some Labour MPs, an amendment tabled by former Communities Minister Rob Jenrick has been passed with the government support to stop local authority pension funds from backing BDS sanctions against UK companies connected with Israel.
