Michael Gove has set out a new definition of extremism, which he said would not affect gender critical campaigners, trans activists or environment protest groups, but would help block funding to groups that ‘undermine democracy’.

In his opening statement, the levelling up secretary named organisations that he said were a cause for concern under the new definition. He named two that he described as neo-Nazi: The British National Socialist Movement and Patriotic Alternative, and three that he associated with Islamism: Muslim Association of Britain, which he described as the British affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, Cage and Mend.
