In August 2024, the new Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, announced a review, in her words a “Rapid Analytical Sprint,” of Government policy on extremism. She said it would “map and monitor extremist trends” and “understand the evidence about what works” to “underpin a new strategic approach to countering extremism from Government.”

Policy Exchange has been leaked the analysis paper, the capping paper, and the full recommendations of that Sprint, along with documents about a proposed Counter-Extremism Ministerial Board. They are in several respects sensible – but in other ways confused, and potentially damaging.
