What happened: Labour leader Keir Starmer plans to introduce new powers enabling ministers to designate state-backed organisations, such as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, as terror groups.
Why it matters:
- It could strengthen the UK's ability to counter threats from foreign state-backed groups.
- This change would affect government policy on national security and international relations.
MNN Take: The proposal aims to give ministers clearer authority to label and act against organisations linked to hostile foreign states, enhancing security measures.
