legal proceedings against the UK Gov.
It appears there has been something that allows MI5 and agents to commit 'illegal' acts in their anti-terrorism work.
Somewhat scary as there is no oversight or judicial review. In effect, it would appear an agent 'could' murder, torture in the name of National Security. This was countered by saying that each and every case is reviewed on merit to see if said agent is allowed to 'undertake' each illegal action but - bloody scary all the same (although I am not entirely surpised).
Looks like this has been rumbling around for a while.

I doubt that this includes murder etc.
A former head of MI5 was on R4 earlier stating just that. He wasn't going to be explicit on other matters.
This sort of information needs to be redacted to protect those working for us in perilous positions. It wouldn't be hard to reverse engineer the law to directly identify people.
There are some things were you need to trust the security and intelligence services. |  |
