Yvette Cooper’s new review’ about extremism is as much about downplaying issues the government would rather not talk about, as it is highlighting issues it is more comfortable talking about.

The establishment is constantly expanding the definitions of extremism and terrorism, all while ignoring where the lion's share of it comes from.

Islamism remains our most lethal terror threat by a country mile.

Given those chilling words, the killer was known to the authorities’, have followed Islamist terror attack after Islamist terror attacks in recent years , you would think Cooper would want her officials and officers focussing their efforts, rather than casting the extremism’ net so widely that it catches everyone and stops nothing.

Perhaps she's just terrified of being seen to agree with Suella Braverman about something, a fate worse than death in north London .
