Because at the time when it was banned, the supporters of the group said it was laughable that it was on the same list as Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.

I think the government thought that it was nailed on, that this would go their way.

The Home Secretary at the time, Yvette Cooper, was the one who was leading the Home Office here in the UK and the one responsible for the ban.

But it's Shabana Mahmood.

The UK Home Secretary today should give you a bit of reaction.

She said she's disappointed by the course decision.

The prescription of Palestine action, she said, followed a rigorous and evidence-based decision-making process endorsed by Parliament.

And the leader of the UK Green Party says it's about 2,700 people.

It's a lot of people, isn't it?
