John McDonnell rips into Palestine Action terror ruling.  The Palestine Action terror ban has been ruled lawful, by the UK Court of Appeal. It overturns a High Court ruling in February that the banning of the group under the Terrorism Act was unlawful and disproportionate. “We concluded that the proscription decision struck a fair balance,” said Chief Justice Sue Carr, upholding the final discretion of the Home Secretary, Labour’s Shabana Mahmood. Mahmood’s fellow Labour MP, former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, does not agree.
