A relentless focus on tackling the life-threatening danger posed by Islamist supporters was placed at the centre of a major overhaul of the Government’s Prevent counter-extremism strategy unveiled by Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

Ms Braverman told police and others responsible for delivering the controversial programme that “real reform” was needed to refocus their efforts on Islamist ideology “which underpins the predominant terrorist threat facing the UK” to stop their mission being blurred by too much attention being paid to other forms of extremist belief.
