UK revokes travel authorisation for Swedish climate scholar Andreas Malm

Swedish academic Andreas Malm has been barred from entering the UK after the Home Office revoked his electronic travel authorisation (ETA). The decision, which cites his presence as 'not conducive to the public good,' prevents him from speaking at a London panel alongside Huda Ammori, a co-founder of the proscribed group Palestine Action. Malm denies supporting the group, while critics condemn the move as an authoritarian restriction on free speech.

Prince Harry has been asked to give the UK’s Home Office one month of notice before traveling to the UK so they can determine if he needs a security detail.

His legal team argued that the notice could threaten his safety and hinder his security arrangements. In February 2022, the Duke sued Associated Newspapers Limited after the outlet broke a story that claimed the royal tried to keep his fight with the British government under wraps.
