Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a new government framework to address extremism in the UK, warning against the 'poison' of extremism in a rare speech at Downing Street. The initiative seeks to broaden the definition of extremism, targeting groups and individuals attempting to undermine British values and democracy through violence and intimidation. This move has sparked debate, with comparisons drawn to Biden's approach towards MAGA supporters, suggesting a political motive behind classifying opposition as 'extremist'.
