Manchester synagogue stabbing – latest updates
Keir Starmer has promised to strengthen police numbers in Jewish communities across the country after Thursday’s terrorist attack outside a synagogue in Manchester.
The prime minister called the attack in the Crumpsall area an act of antisemitism and said the country would stand up to the hatred behind it.
In a statement from Downing Street on Thursday evening, Starmer said: “Earlier today, on Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they are Jews, and attacked Britain because of our values.
