'Antisemitism has no place in our society and it is really important that we all stand together at a moment like this.' Keir Starmer responds to the arson attack on four Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green, North London.
The mob‑like scenes at the University of St Andrews towards Reform UK student supporters were utterly disgraceful. Together with @reformparty_uk Scotland Leader, @Malcolm_Offord I have written to the university demanding action to uphold free speech and protect every student’s right to express their views without fear. Intimidating young people for their political beliefs is unacceptable in any free and democratic society.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
The Greens, Lib Dem’s and Labour today attempted to remove me as Leader of Warwickshire County Council. They failed.
