At Prime Minister’s Questions, David Cameron asked for reassurances that everything was being done to deal with the floods in Cumbria.

He went on to criticise the Government for not getting to grips with Islamic extremism.

Following up on his repeated calls for the extremist organisation Hizb ut Tahrir to banned, Cameron revealed that two schools run by one of their front groups have received public money.

Hizb ut Tahrir’s constitution states that non-Muslims are "combatants in the battlefield", and that their "blood is lawful as is their property".

Cameron also called on the Prime Minister to ban another group called Islam 4 UK. The leader of this group claims that the 9/11 bombers were "magnificent" people who were "carrying out their Islamic responsibility and duty".

Cameron concluded that it was clear that the Government hadn't "got to grips" with the issue of Islamic extremism, and called for "a much bigger inquiry" into how to prevent it.
