Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is threatened with a contempt of court action. Not for using or abusing the courts for political ends sadly, but rather she is accused of lying about Palestine Action.
The Canary broke the story
Not much media interest - I mean it’s not as Home Secs break the law every other day or anything. Oh wait, no it can’t be that
The Indy reported it but not much else in the mainstream.
The FT has mentioned it - but chose to bury it amongst a fig leaf story:
Yvette Cooper mounts fresh defence of UK ban on Palestine Action
Home secretary said group carried out ‘escalating campaign’ of criminal damage before it was proscribed

This might reveal a lot about the financial industry’s interest in the military industrial complex, that Cooper represents - almost as vigorously as she does Israel.
I wonder if Defend our Juries, who are trying to bring the action, were inspired by Craig Murray.
