The Week... The government decides who is an extremist
from Politics At Sam and Anne's
Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists, Sky News's Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard, guide us through their predictions of how British politics will play out over the next seven days. This week, Jack and Sam discuss Communities Secretary Michael Gove's plan to change the definition of extremism and how important it really is. The current counter-extremism strategy is overdue an update, but the proposed new language seems broad. Plus, the fallout from last week's budget - Jack and Sam explore the political landscape as it continues to reverberate through Westminster. And with Ramadan beginning this week and no ceasefire in Gaza, how will the UK's support of a 'maritime corridor' for aid shape up?
