The antisemitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling.

Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.

Thank you to Shomrim, Hatzola and the police for acting swiftly. Those responsible will be brought to justice.

In New York today, The King and Queen have paid their respects at the 9/11 Memorial.

World leaders will come together this afternoon to establish an international mission to re-open the Strait of Hormuz.

Around 40 countries are expected to join the UK-FR summit to launch the Strait of Hormuz Maritime Freedom of Navigation Initiative.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures.

The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation.

This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

PM call with President Macron of France: 12 April 2026
