There are attempts to divide and whip up suspicion and mistrust between minority communities, by the political and media establishment. We cannot let this prevail. Instead, we must come together with the Jewish community in Manchester & beyond — with whom all minority communities share values of respect and mutual support — in opposition to these attempts. This is how we can eradicate antisemitism and end racist violence in our society: by building in solidarity and unity against it.

I’m horrified by the violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester. I have been in contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Home Secretary, and would like to reassure Londoners that the Met Police are stepping up patrols in Jewish communities and synagogues across London. My thoughts are with all those affected on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. London stands ready to help in any way we can.
