A very good thread. Note, it remains possible that the Courts will refuse to allow Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action. The High Court on Friday held that there was, in effect, a serious question to be asked about the lawfulness of her decision.
Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽
