Attacks on British Jews 'a crisis for all of us', says PM
Starmer will urge business, health and policing leaders to help curb attacks as the UK raises its terror threat level and adds £25 million in security funding.

- Last week, two Jewish men, Shloime Rand, 34, and Norman Shine, 76, were stabbed during a knife rampage through London's Golders Green suburb; alleged attacker Essa Suleiman, 45, appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on Friday and was remanded in custody.

- Starmer will focus on domestic security implications of the Iran war during a Middle East Response Committee meeting, while the government promised legislation to confront militancy and strengthen social cohesion across society.
