The UK's terror watchdog has recommended that a new offence to prevent mass casualty attacks before they happen, should be considered in light of the Southport murders.

Jonathan Hall KC said the legal definition is “already wide” and expanding the threshold would “increase the possibility of inaccurate use and, in theory, abuse”.
