The Conservative leader will deliver a short speech today at her party conference, and her main speech on Wednesday.

But she has already issued outspoken comments, in an essay for a report by think tank Policy Exchange published today.

She said: “When intellectuals and activists romanticise violence, they give licence to those who see bloodshed not as tragedy, but as a political tool. Two years ago, it was this ethos that underlay Hamas’ attacks on Israel: the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

“We have also repeatedly seen the deadly results of this mindset here in Britain, most recently in the appalling terrorist attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur. This was not an isolated act of hatred: it flows from a wider culture that legitimises violence in the name of “justice”, cloaking it in the language of resistance.”
