In Manchester, a vigil is taking place after Thursday’s horrific terror attack left two people killed and three seriously injured in hospital. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to do ‘everything’ in his power to protect Jewish people in Britain, condemning the ‘horrific’ terror attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has also paid her respects to the victims and their families – before, this morning, turning on pro-Palestine protestors.
And while new Justice Secretary David Lammy has also urged pro-Gaza protestors to ‘stop and stand back’ instead of joining planned marches this weekend, he has not been well received in Manchester. The Deputy Prime Minister was present to address the crowd – giving a speech in which he urged communities across Britain to ‘stand together’ in the wake of the ‘senseless murders carried out on Yom Kippur’. But before he even began to speak, Lammy was heckled as he made his way to the podium – with shouts of ‘go to Palestine’ and ‘shame on you!’ from those assembled.
