Rishi Sunak's government will make a big announcement this week. But with exact plans under wraps, there are fears the new definition could impact groups such as trans rights activists - as well as point out links with Labour.
Michael Gove is poised to unveil a new definition of extremism amid jitters in government at his plan. The Politics at Jack and Sam's podcast discusses the big announcement by Rishi Sunak's government this week - designed to update and increase the number of organisations that are classed as 'extremist' and put new limits on their activities.
Other ministers are cautious about the plan, suggesting that it is unclear who the definition will and won't cover, amid fears that other groups - such as trans rights activists, gender critical organisations and even anti-House of Lords campaigners - could be caught by this new wider definition. It will be for the government, in the first instance, to say who is and isn't on the list.
