Tribute row sparks political clash over A66 crash victims

A row erupted after Home Office minister Anna Turley paid tribute to all seven victims of the A66 crash near Middlesbrough, with critics arguing she equated two police officers with the five men in the other car; Turley says Cleveland Police asked her to honour all victims and rejected any moral equivalence. The crash killed two officers, PCs Matthew Blades and Tom Clough, and five young men, and investigators say the incident involved serious criminal activity and cloned plates; police have made multiple arrests as the probe into possible organised crime continues.

UK Supreme Court to hear challenge to Palestine Action ban

Britain's Supreme Court will hear an appeal against the government's terrorism-proscription of Palestine Action, a ban that took effect in July 2025. Co-founder Huda Ammori argues the move breaches human rights, while the Home Office says it is necessary to prevent serious criminal damage tied to the group’s protests against an Israeli-owned defence firm. The case, which could reshape anti-terrorism powers in the UK, follows recent court rulings and prosecutions related to the group.

Jenrick accuses government of dereliction on Farage's security

Reform UK's Robert Jenrick accuses the government of a dereliction of duty by downgrading Nigel Farage's taxpayer-funded security, which Farage reportedly rejected as insufficient. The Home Office says ministers do not decide MPs' security and Farage is set to meet Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to discuss protection ahead of his Clacton by-election, as debate over politician security is revived by Ann Widdecombe's death and ongoing concerns about MPs' safety.

UK Court of Appeal upholds Palestine Action ban as terrorist organisation

Britain’s Court of Appeal has upheld the Home Office’s ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, overturning a High Court ruling that the move was unlawful. Judges said the group’s core aim is to damage property of Elbit Systems and other UK-trading firms, not merely peaceful protest. The decision follows prosecutions and arrests linked to Palestine Action, including four activists who were sentenced as terrorists for a 2024 Elbit Systems break-in, with the Home Secretary defending the measure as necessary for national security while emphasising that lawful protest remains possible.

UK Denies Entry to Hasan Piker Over Israel-Criticism Ahead of SXSW London

Britain revoked Hasan Piker’s Electronic Travel Authorization and barred his entry, along with his uncle Cenk Uygur, on grounds that their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good; they were due to speak at SXSW London and address the Oxford Union. Free-speech advocates criticized the move as a crackdown on Palestine-related dissent, while Piker and Uygur publicly criticized Israel and the UK. The government said entry decisions are risk-based and that visa reapplication is possible, highlighting a broader debate over dissent and security in the Gaza-Israel context.
