Context
The Archbishop of Canterbury and former Home Secretaries oppose the government's plan to widen the definition of extremism. Three Government advisers also raised concerns about antisemitism, social cohesion, and political violence.
Question
Despite opposition from key figures, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is set to broaden the definition of extremism tomorrow. Should the Prime Minister focus on addressing extremism within his own party instead? Will he support a new definition?
Answer from Rishi Sunak
Discrimination has no place in society. We must differentiate between political debate and acts of abuse, intimidation, and violence. The government is tackling rising extremism attempting to hijack democracy.
Not addressed: Did not address the specific request for a new definition that includes Islamophobia.
