Mohammed Amin: The New Zealand atrocity – and the symbiotic relationship between anti-Muslim and Islamist terrorists

The attack is a salutary reminder that all terrorists, by definition, believed in something and have a cause.

Over three in four Party members back Javid over his Begum ban. Our survey.

We were curious to know how big the proportion of objectors would be, to which the answer is: a fifth.

Natasha Hausdorff: The proscription of Hezbollah is welcome – though overdue

It will be a significant step forward in keeping this heinous organisation from inciting hatred on our streets.

Ultimately, Begum is a distraction. The main issue is not terrorists’ brides, but terrorists themselves. Where are they?

The Home Secretary is afloat on a sargasso sea of returning jihadis, human rights laws, bewildering intelligence, gaps in the law – and a shrieking media.

Mike Yeomans: Why Begum’s return to the UK would help, not harm, our counter-terrorism plans

She could give us invaluable insights into jihadi recruitment techniques, and if deradicalised become a valuable asset.

Why an updated treason law would help to boost community cohesion

One thinks of the need for such as a measure as justice-related and security-related. But it would also send a powerful signal.

The authorities deserve credit for their responsible but robust handling of the Salisbury atrocity

It hasn’t been perfect, but it is encouraging to see police, security services and ministers clearly communicate about a serious threat.

“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.

“There’s more work to be done, as you suggest…MI5 will be sharing information with more organisations.”

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.

Kenneth Clarke: Britain’s anti-torture policy must be strengthened

We need strong and effective intelligence services. But we should demonstrate that this can be combined with decent and ethical standards of civilised conduct.

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…

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.

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.

Garvan Walshe: How to show Putin we are taking the Salisbury attack seriously

The UK can not allow Russia to believe it got away with it without serious consequences.
