THE threat from far-right terrorism is on the rise in Britain, MPs warned today, with extremists often seeking to join or recruit from the army and police. 

The Commons intelligence and security committee’s report also identifies a risk that existing policies allow members of extremist groups to join the military. 

The committee highlights several cases where members of far-right groups have been found within army ranks, including the arrest of four soldiers in 2017 for membership of proscribed group National Action.
