Ministers under pressure to tackle antisemitism after Golders Green terror attack – live updates

The government has announced 25m to increase security for Jewish communities

The home secretary said that while protecting the Jewish community was a priority, she rejected the characterisation by Jonathan Hall, the UK's independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, that attacks on Jewish people was a national emergency".

I think the phrase national emergency' has particular connotations," Shabana Mahmood told BBC Breakfast.

We note with grave concern the violent attack on two Jewish men in Golders Green, London. We extend our thoughts and solidarity to those injured, their families and the wider Jewish community.

Any act of violence or intimidation directed at individuals because of their faith or identity is utterly unacceptable. Incidents which create fear within communities, particularly near places of worship or religious gathering, undermine the safety and cohesion of our shared society.
