Very interesting thread of in-court reporting on Palestine Action hearing, by the estimable @lizziedearden.bsky.social.
Even if government wins, it is facing what is called rather "anxious scrutiny" from the bench.
Suspect government lawyers are not delighted by how hard the judges are pressing.

The way Palestine Action ban was approved by MPs has been raised in the High Court, with Dame Victoria Sharp noting 2 unrelated groups were on the same order
She says MPs may have been "reluctant" to vote against it but the home sec lawyer says the court should be "cautious" giving that any weight

Many MPs demanding explanation on why two other groups are on same banning order
Labour MP Kim Johnson says: "Lumping Palestine Action together with other two obscure groups to ensure it is proscribed is a disgraceful manipulation of parliamentary procedure"
