I would like to extend my thanks to the police, the security services, and everyone involved in keeping Britain safe. People will be worried after today's arrests, especially those in our Jewish community. Our world-leading security services will not hesitate to protect you. There are some who will use moments like this to divide people. It is vital that we now come together as a nation, united in our common purpose.

Happy Purim! From all of us at Hertsmere Borough Council🎉

New audio emerges. Zack Polanski - Barnet London Assembly Hustings. A vote for him and his Lib Dem colleagues would be for “more police on the beat, for Israel and for Judaism”

Once again, a Reform UK candidate has been found sharing racist posts, this time aimed at Jewish and Muslim communities. Do Reform vet their candidates? Mike Manning, Reform's candidate in the Zetland by-election in Redcar & Cleveland, must be suspended. lbc.co.uk/article/nigel-…

The horrific rise of anti-Jewish hatred in Britain and across the world is utterly intolerable. We must recommit ourselves to rooting out antisemitism wherever it rears its head.

@Searchlight_mag Very sad news indeed. Gerry Gable was a legendary figure in the fight against fascism and neo-nazism. I had the privilege to work with him from time to time. May his memory be a blessing.

It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce that Searchlight’s founder, Gerry Gable, has died at the age of 88. He had been in frail health for some time, but a recent hospital admission proved too much and he died peacefully last night. Gerry was one of the most important figures in post war anti-fascism, not just in this country but also internationally. You can read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/01/gerry-…

In 2026, the choices we’ve made will mean more people will begin to feel positive change. The promise of renewal will become a reality, and Britain will turn the corner. From my family to yours: Happy New Year.

Merry and joyous Christmas to all who celebrate!

For 100 years Elstree studios has been home to iconic film & TV, shaped by filmmakers and our local community. To mark our centenary, we’re inviting the people of Hertsmere to celebrate with us!

This appalling Islamic State-inspired terrorist plot was disrupted by vital Police work. Antisemitism will never have any place in our society and we stand with Jewish communities everywhere. We will always work tirelessly to defend against those who seek to harm our country.

As Chanukah ends, this year will be remembered for the terror attack on Bondi Beach. In Hertsmere our response to the darkness was to increase the light. We held more public Chanukah lightings than ever before, &(we believe) more than anywhere else in the UK. #LightingUpHertsmere

Today we celebrate the Employment Rights Act ✅

Today, I made a statement in the Chamber of the House of Commons about the appalling attack on Bondi Beach on the first day of Hanukkah.

I am delighted the Lords have passed the Employment Rights Bill - a historic moment that will make working life fairer, more secure and better for millions of people across the UK.

Very a orry to hear that @AshleyDalton_MP was heckled by extreme elements at a Chanukah vigil. I get that people are still raw and hurting from Sunday’s attack but for the 30+ years I’ve known Ashley she’s been a staunch ally against antisemitism - jewishnews.co.uk/minister-heckl…

Proud to speak at @JewishLabour’s Chanukah celebration this evening. With the horrific attacks on Yom Kippur in Manchester, and the recent Bondi Beach attack, we must all redouble our efforts to root out the stain of antisemitism wherever it appears.
