flag UK unveils plan to boost unity with anti-hate measures, Islamophobia definition, and extremism monitoring.

flag Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned against political efforts to divide communities ahead of the government's new social cohesion plan, emphasizing the UK’s strength in diversity and unity. flag The plan, set for release on Monday, includes measures to combat religious hatred, counter extremism in universities and charities, and strengthen protections through a campus cohesion charter, a confidential whistleblowing system, and expanded powers for the Charity Commission. flag It also proposes a formal definition of Islamophobia, an anti-Muslim hostility tsar, an annual extremism report, and a strengthened visa watchlist to block hate preachers. flag Starmer rejected attempts to exploit the Iran conflict to deepen divisions between Muslim and Jewish communities, calling the plan a proactive effort to unite the nation. flag Communities Secretary Steve Reed stressed celebrating cultural diversity, while opposition figures criticized the plan as insufficient and failing to address root causes of separatism.
