Prime Minister Keir Starmer is visiting the scene of the terror attack outside the Manchester synagogue where two people were killed and three others seriously injured yesterday on Yom Kippur.

Starmer and his wife Victoria, who is Jewish, are seen shaking hands with emergency responders outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, north Manchester.

Starmer vowed yesterday to “do everything in my power” to protect Jews in Britain amid heightened fears for the community following the attack, which police have declared a “terrorist incident.”
