Curb extremism now or face new terrorist threats, Labour warned

Experts say measures announced so far are not enough to turn the tide

Labour must reverse years of political failure on extremism to stop it fuelling more disorder, violence and terrorism in Britain, leading figures have said.

Neil Basu, the former head of counter-terrorism policing, and Dame Sara Khan, previously the government's counter-extremism tsar, warned that proposals unveiled last month would not be enough to address a toxic pool of hatred, conspiracy theories and dangerous rhetoric" from high-profile figures including Elon Musk.
