The Home Secretary is preparing to ban Palestine Action following the group’s vandalism of two planes at an RAF base.

Yvette Cooper has decided to proscribe the group, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support Palestine Action.

The decision comes after the group posted footage online showing two people inside the base at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
