@Keir_Starmer Is it not the “root cause” that needs tackling? Extra policing is all well and good but just a sticking plaster. The Jewish community should not have to live in fear if they live in Britain. Their rights, like the rest of us, is to have freedom without threats.
Yesterday’s terror attack wasn’t an isolated incident, it was the latest attack on the Jewish community for being Jewish.
Today I spoke with volunteers, first responders from Shomrim and Hatzola to thank them for their bravery.
I know that this is a deeply worrying time for the whole community.
My government is taking immediate action.
We’ve increased enhanced funding for police patrols and protective security and we’re fast-tracking legislation to deal with malign state actors.
My message to Jewish people is this: you belong here, and we will do everything we can to keep you safe.

@GMB Yes, that’s exactly what we Brits need, more taxes and exacerbating the cost of living crisis/killing businesses. You can’t make it up; it’s already too expense to live… so why don’t the government make it even more difficult - fools!
Butlin's CEO says that plans for a "tourist tax" could make holidays unaffordable, while the government claims it could raise money for better transport and infrastructure.
Should tourists be targeted with a £2 per night tax?
@GMB Possibly the best Labour front bencher, @wesstreeting has a credibility others lack. And his framing of the militant Resident Doctors intransigence and holding the UK to ransom, is spot on! Well explained and refreshing to hear answers to questions!
'There has been plenty of goodwill from this government,' says Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The six-day doctors’ strike begins as the NHS reveals that walkouts have cost £3billion.
@jonbonjovi Not for me @jonbonjovi … an old man singing old songs that can’t be sang the way you did when I saw you in 1984, 86 & 88… why pay thru the arse for stuff that isn’t going to be the real Bon Jovi?
The Prime Minister and Chancellor are under pressure to take action to protect consumers from rapidly rising fuel prices after diesel hit its highest level since December 2022.

@SwainITV reports.
@WelshLabour 27yrs of making a mess counts you out of May 7th leadership! Waiting lists longer, corridor care now established and ambulances never showing. Is in your watch!
We know how important the NHS is to people across North Wales.
That's why we're investing in the NHS across North Wales, from Wrexham Maelor, to the Royal Alex.
Lots done, lots more to do.
@BBCNewsnight@vicderbyshire Excellent interview with a true fighter for the truth. @RepThomasMassie highlights the issues of going against Trump and his cronies, critically; exposing those in power who have the most to lose and their fight to bury their crimes.
"We need somebody to testify, somebody who was on the inside of all of this."
Republican Congressman Thomas Massie on whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could be forced to testify in the Epstein case.

@BillKristol Mueller: A true and loyal servant versus… a felon, rapist, bankrupt sociopath, who is burning the world to ashes. When will America and the world stand up to this bully?
@AdamKinzinger Trump will have the keys to the Strait of Hormuz in about 4 weeks time.
He is the most consequential President in US history.
Start carving the rock on Mt Rushmore.
@WelshLabour Wales is broke! And broken… because of 27yrs of Labour rule! We need a new energy and change from the status quo. So thanks but no thanks.
