Yesterday there was an important discussion of the legality of Palestine Action's recent proscription, hosted by John McDonnell MP. Here were some of the key issues raised -

Here I argue the Home Secretary's case that Palestine Action is concerned in terrorism is lacking in evidence, and proscribing the group is disproportionate. It will criminalise a significant proportion of civil society and be counterproductive for maintaining safety.

‘Given the size of Palestine Action and the breadth of support so far expressed for it, proscribing it could lead to a significant proportion of civil society being criminalised, including MPs, journalists and NGOs.’ New on the blog: Daniella Lock on Palestine Action. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

This is a public order issue. It isn’t terrorism, and it undermines the credibility of the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy to treat it as such. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a dangerous lowering of the bar regarding what counts as terrorism. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Thanks to @publiclaw.bsky.social for publishing my article on decision making under the Prevent and Channel duties. So long in the writing that the Prevent Duty guidance and definition of extremism were updated and a review of Prevent was published, which didn't slow things down further at all.
