(Sky News) Palestine Action will be proscribed as a terrorist organisation, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said.

The action has been taken after the activist group claimed responsibility for breaking into RAF Brize Norton last week.

Footage released online by Palestine Action showed two people inside the Oxfordshire military base.

The clip showed one riding an electric scooter up to an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker and appearing to spray paint into its jet engine — with reports of damage totalling millions of pounds.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said “the disgraceful attack on Brize Norton” on Friday was “the latest in a long history of unacceptable criminal damage committed by Palestine Action.”
