Local election campaigning enters final week as forecaster warns Labour could lose 1,850 English seats –UK politics live

Robert Hayward predicts Reform will be big winner, taking seats from both Labour and the Conservatives

Good morning. We are now into the final week of campaigning for the Scottish parliament, Welsh Senedd and English local elections. Keir Starmer had been planning a big speech today, but he, and other political leaders, are today focusing on their response to the Golders Green stabbing and the antisemitism threat facing Britain's Jewish community - described as a national security emergency" by Jonathan Hall KC, the government's independent reviewer of terror legislation. Here is our overnight story. And here is our live blog by Taz Ali.

Taz will be covering most of the political reaction to that story, and so that won't be something I will be covering here. (And because criminal proceedings are active, comments relating to the attack won't be allowed below the line, I'm afraid.)
