That's insanely tight. Glad I haven't got to do the dusting though.

Given Palestinian Action's, erm, actions, if the explanation for the order is accurate, one might see why they could be viewed as an organisation that needs to be proscribed, but somewhere between that and arresting 80-year-old vicars, for expressing support for it, finding a solution to it isn't going to be easy.

Strikes me that a lot of that also applies to other organisations eg Just Stop Oil?

Maybe, but this does give more context to the order.

A useful thread to read from a KC, with views from more than one perspective.

I'm not sure that (f) should be in there. That could be applied equally to charitable organisations.

That probably ought to be more explicitly tied to using that in carrying out its illegal objectives. Agreed, as a stand-alone here, there's nothing illegal about it.

Maybe things are starting to get juicy with Ben Houchen & Teesworks... (if you read Private Eye, you'll know that everything might not be squeaky clean)

Two of the three most senior officials at Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) have quit, in the most sensational development yet at the troubled organisation.

Emma Simson, group chief legal and monitoring officer responsible for the lawfulness of TVCA actions, and Gary Macdonald, group director of finance and resources, have both “recently left the organisation”, according to a report being presented to a special TVCA cabinet coming up on Friday.

This follows the redundancy of Julie Gilhespie as group chief executive at the end of March, to be replaced by Tom Bryant as chief executive of TVCA and John Barnes in the same role at South Tees Development Corporation (STDC).
