The judges however ruled the ban must remain in place until a further hearing on 20 February as to what should happen next - including the possibility of a government appeal 🫠

Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

finally some good news.
they will still ban them until further hearing though, which is ridiculous, but oh well.
Yvette Cooper doesn't give a shit. She did her bit. Won't face any consequences either. Heck she got a promotion! Failed upwards.
Much like how when Suella Braverman illegally bypassed parliament to make more protest illegal, she faced no consequences. I was arrested under that unlawful law and still got a guilty verdict and fines. I'm interested to see how this plays out though as nearly 3,000 "anti terrorism" cases is certainly a lot of extra work that they could easily avoid
If it is ruled unlawful, your prosecution would be unsound and you'd be able to get it overturned, fines repaid and maybe even court costs reimbursed.
I feel a collective legal action coming on.
Correct decision, especially after their activists were found innocent of the offence that supposedly justified the proscription!
Labour and Conservatives (and presumably Reform, but I've not seen a quote) on one side. Greens and LD on the other.
The current home secretary, Shaban Mahmood said on Friday: “I am disappointed by the court’s decision and disagree with the notion that banning this terrorist organisation is disproportionate. The proscription of Palestine Action followed a rigorous and evidence-based decision-making process, endorsed by parliament."
Conservative MPs said they welcome the government’s intention to appeal against the high court’s ruling. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: “There can be no hesitation when public safety and national security are at stake.”
Green party leader Zack Polanski agreed with the ruling and called for charges made against protesters to be dropped. “It is time for the Government to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide,” he said. It was a sentiment echoed by Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Max Wilkinson, who said placing Palestine Action “in the same legal category as Isis” was disproportionate.
I wonder what will happen to the thousands that are currently arrested, or in limbo awaiting a verdict.
