The prime minister said the attack in Golders Green is ‘part of a pattern of rising antisemitism’ in the country
The next Scottish government will need to make “really difficult” spending decisions soon after taking power, including tackling its large public sector pay bill, senior economists have said. Severin Carrell has the story.
Steve Reed, the environment secretary, has been giving interviews this morning. As well as promoting the (small) funding announcement for councils dealing with antisemitism (see 8.41am), he has also been reviving the Labour attack on the Green party over their handling of antisemitism in their party (see 9.16am).
We need the Green party to do what the Labour Party did and kick out members of their party who are openly antisemitic. In my borough, where my constituency is, two Green Party candidates have been arrested for allegations of stirring up racial hatred.
Instead of condemning them, the Green party has put out a letter saying that the Labour party is spreading cynical misinformation.
