“Globally, Muslims are by far the biggest victims of Islamist terrorism.” Javid’s counter-terrorism strategy speech – full text

Ultimately, our approach is about ensuring that there are no safe spaces for terrorists. We will work more closely with key partners outside of central government.

Wanted. A Muslim, a woman, and a fearless campaigner to review claims of Tory anti-Muslim prejudice.

We doubt that such institutional bias exists. But we would say that, wouldn’t we? Fortunately, Sayeeda Warsi has hit on a solution.

A year on from the Manchester atrocity

It was a textbook case of how Islamist terror works here – or has to date, anyway. We honour and remember those who died.

An open letter to Sajid Javid

Here are five priorities. Sort out the extremism mess. Get an immigration policy move-on. Beef up your Windrush review. Don’t mess with ID cards. Or identity politics. Oh, and P.S…

WATCH: Javid’s Home Secretary TV debut. He says his priority is security. And that his urgent task is to sort Windrush.

His other priorities? Tackling crime, fighting terror and extremism, and dealing with illegal immigration. He is careful to praise Home Office staff.

Javid. Muslim, Brexit adaptee, comeback kid – and not a May protege. Her Home Office era is over.

The new Home Secretary won’t toe the Downing Street line as his predecessor did. His appointment is thus a sign of weakness at the top.

Look wider than the tragic tale of Alfie Evans. And ask if the balance of power is right between families and the state.

Disputes have focused on questions arising from his plight – parental, ethical, legal. But it may be useful to widen the angle of the lens.

Alex Morton: Conservatives and Liberals share a new opponent – Progressive Authoritarians

But some, perhaps many, Tory MPs have these tendencies – including one no less senior than the Prime Minister herself.

Let’s suppose missile strikes target the Assad regime. But afterwards chemical weapons are used again in Syria. What then?

Reports this morning suggest conflict within the Government and hesitation in America. And no wonder.

Birmingham is a key test – perhaps the most important one – for the Tories in the local elections

We open a three-part series this week on May’s elections, beginning today with the cities that are all-out.

Paul Mercer: Police forces and councils seem to forget the reasons for the Prevent programme

For reasons of political correctness, its remit now covers far more groups, many of which are clearly not engaged in violent protest, let alone terrorism.

As May squares up to one security challenge, Cameron reminds us of another: Islamist extremism – and its wider dimensions.

In Washington, the former Prime Minister ponders how his approach to tackling non-violent as well as violent extremism can be built on.

Alistair Thompson: Stick to the day job, Ofsted – and drop this power grab. You don’t need it to stop Islamist extremists.

This latest scheme could drag sports clubs, the Scouts and Guides and even the TA, Royal Naval Reserves and cadets into its net.

Do the voices shouting down Sara Khan really represent Britain’s Muslims?

Polling suggests real concern among them about extremism. But one wouldn’t think so from the coverage of her appointment.

James Watt: For all the grim headlines, peace in the Middle East really is achievable

It won’t be easy but regional powers can make it happen if they make the right choices.
