An overhaul of laws on terrorism after the Southport murders will not expand the definition to take in disruptive but non-violent protest, Downing Street has said, as MPs and senior lawyers warned about potential risks to the plan.
Keir Starmer announced the review, to be led by Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism laws, after Axel Rudakubana pleaded guilty to stabbing to death Bebe King, six, Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, in July.
