On the re-vamped policy - whilst I agree with the overall aim, I'm not too sure about some of the specifics. Some seem to have been designed more for political spin than for effectiveness - such as enlisting healthcare workers (doctors, nurses etc) in the 'fight'. Perhaps I'm missing something in the detail, but it seems a bit c.ock-eyed to me.

However, I was looking at the UK as a whole. And when we do that, we find:
99 terror attacks by non-Muslims, vs 0? by Muslims over the same period.

The security threat level stands at severe and police officers -- especially Catholics who have been encouraged to join the force -- have been targeted.
At the beginning of April, a car bomb killed a 25 year-old Catholic constable. One man has been charged in connection with the bombing and a woman is being questioned by detectives.
Ronan Kerr was the second Catholic officer to be murdered in two years, several more have been severely wounded or had narrow escapes.
...
Thursday’s police figures show that 188 people were arrested under the Terrorism Act, compared with 169 the year before. Those charged rose to 40 from 36.
As well as bombings there were 72 shooting incidents, 33 casualties resulting from paramilitary style shootings and 81 paramilitary style assaults.

I'm agreeing with you, we SHOULD indeed include the statistics relating to terror attacks by Muslims that have been prevented.
I'm not the one who is saying 'believe me' - I'm the one saying 'here are the statistics for terrorism in the UK by non-Muslims, let's compare the numbers with those by Muslims'.
