Even if Magyar is no liberal, this is why it is still a huge defeat for illiberalism. For it shows that a powerful illiberal political machine and methodology can be defeated.

The Palestine Action judgment does not yet have legal effect, as no Order has been made and it looks like an appeal will be made. That said, there is no barrier to the police dropping the charges already made after the mass arrests. That is a separate and distinct decision.

Should the government have used terrorism law against Palestine Action?
