Michael Gove has been warned he must name Islamist groups or his crackdown on extremism will not work.
The Communities Secretary has been told by senior Tories and a leading anti-Islamist campaigner that the Government would be seen as “weak” if it failed to “call out” the extremist groups trying to subvert democracy.
Mr Gove has come under pressure ahead of an announcement this week of a new official definition of extremism that will enable the Government and bodies such as universities and councils to ban funding for or engagement with Islamist and far-Right groups.
