A new name 'Black Liberation Movement UK' adopted by the @BLMUK group. It will also use 'Black Lives Matter', also in use by a range of other groups and networks theguardian.com/world/2020/oct…
This group was a loose, nascent network of activists in May/June. A number of different groups/networks were using the 'BLM' message and slogan, which had crossed the Atlantic. BLM had also been used by a different group of climate activists over previous few years. 
Black Liberation Movement sounds, to my ears, to have a 1970s/80s vibe, with echoes of Pan-Africanism. It doesn't have the immediacy/clarity and simplicity of communication of 'black lives matter'. Though it sounds as if the plan is to combine them.
It is @ukblm that is the group in this report. (Sorry, my mistake with the Twitter handles).
