Plans to ban protest group Palestine Action would mark a very serious step that may go too far, a former shadow attorney general has said.

Baroness Shami Chakrabarti told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that it is “one thing” to be a threat to property, or to be a nuisance, but it is “another thing altogether” for a whole group to be proscribed as terrorists.
