Labour are happy to inherit the authoritarian legislation from the Tories, so they can use it for their own agenda.
Celebrating an event is not grounds for arresting anyone. To be arrested, you have to be suspected of committing a crime. What crime did Republic commit, Gwynne?

A celebration of heredity power and wealth, a celebration of privilege, of someone deserving to be in power or poverty because of birth. Thatβs supposed to be what labour movements oppose

Unfortunately with one of the most authoritarian and draconian DPP ever leading the Labour party, I'm not sure that such things are likely to get any better unless there is major protest and pressure onto the Labour Party.
