Tom Kibasi, a former think tank director, is set to join the UK Prime Minister's office at Number 10, working closely with Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney on strategy. This appointment has drawn criticism from some quarters, with allegations that the left-wing Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) is increasing its influence within Downing Street. Concurrently, there are claims circulating about the growing presence and influence of Muslim communities in the UK, including assertions that groups are planning to establish an Islamic system in place of the current government. These claims suggest tensions around immigration and cultural integration, with some voices accusing political leaders, including Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, of allowing Islamist influence to expand in Britain.
