More on the Palestine Action proscription judgement in the High Court yesterday. Following on from Mark Elliott's analysis (just re-posted) here is @davidallengreen take on the issue, focusing on the over-reach by both the previous & this Govt.
As DAG points out, while the Govt. will likely throw everything at the appeal, this is a high risk stagey likely to prompt further political humiliation.

@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen it's honestly bizarre, because everybody I spoke to, just regular people, said how is any of this terrorist activity? How are they a terrorist organisation? Nobody thought they were terrorists, and yet still the government used that. talk about a bloody sledgehammer to crack a nut!

@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen Labelling those who disagree with certain governments as terrorists seems to be all the rage at the moment. The Tangerine Terror does the same. Old Berlusconi used a similar trick to blacken the names of those who opposed him - he accused them of sedition.

@Tattooed_Mummy @ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen It has felt to me that they acted in a fit of pique after the business with PA painting the government plane. Didn't stop to consider the actual consequences of proscription, just had a moment of 'how dare they!'
My only hope is that future governments might learn from this idiocy: don't make extremely consequential decisions just because you're pissed off.

@ChrisMayLA6 Because I know there are strong feelings here, I might highlight that the same article is available at DAG's personal blog, https://davidallengreen.com/2026/02/what-the-palestine-action-judgment-means-and-what-it-does-not-mean/, for those who object to substack.
