Palestine Action ban ‘makes a mockery’ of counter-terror laws, says Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti
The peer has called on the home secretary to help reverse the proscription just days before the Supreme Court is due to hear an appeal against it

A Labour peer is publicly attacking the government's own counter-terror decision, calling the proscription of Palestine Action a farce. The timing matters: the Supreme Court appeal is days away, and the peer is asking the home secretary to intervene directly. This puts the government in a bind between defending its security designation and managing internal party dissent.
