"Charities being used as a front for terrorism are facing a further crackdown after David Cameron unveiled new powers and an extra £8m for the charities watchdog.

The prime minister announced the new money and a draft protection of charities bill before a meeting of his “extremism taskforce” which is to examine the government’s counter-terrorism strategy."
