UK Court of Appeal upholds Palestine Action ban as terrorist organisation

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.

Labour deportations: nearly 60,000 returns in 19 months, with January dip

Labour deportations: nearly 60,000 returns in 19 months, with January dip

Provisional Home Office data show about 60,000 foreign nationals were removed from the UK in the 19 months since Labour took office in July 2024, a 15% rise from the prior period, while January 2026 recorded the lowest removals in almost three years largely due to fewer voluntary departures. Under Labour, voluntary departures have made up around three-quarters of removals, but that share fell to 62% in January; final figures may change when published. Labour has pledged to increase returns for people with no legal right to be in the UK, and there are no official statistics on the number of people in the country illegally. For more, BBC Verify’s migration tracker is referenced in the update.

Labour eyes sweeping police reform, including a national mega-force and officer licences

Labour eyes sweeping police reform, including a national mega-force and officer licences

Labour, led by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, outlines a plan to overhaul policing in England and Wales, proposing a sharp reduction in forces (from 43 to around a dozen), professional licences for officers, and ministers gaining power to sack chief constables. A centerpiece would be forming a national mega-force by merging the NCA, Counter Terrorism (and other national policing elements), aiming to better tackle organised crime and modern threats. The changes, argued to reflect a tougher crime landscape, would take years and provoke fierce political and institutional debate over local ties, accountability, and cost. Critics, including Conservatives and the Police Federation, warn about morale, practical impact, and the erosion of local policing links, while some senior officers see potential benefits if implemented with evidence and buy-in.
