MP Nigel Farage, head of the UK’s Reform Party, sends condolences to members of the Jewish community following the deadly terror attack at a Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur services.
“I am horrified by the attack at a synagogue in Manchester today, particularly on Yom Kippur — the holiest day in the Jewish calendar,” he posts on X. “My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those affected and the Jewish community who will be suffering at this time, and my thanks go to the emergency services.”
Farage’s right-wing populist party currently leads in polls to be the UK’s next prime minister, although elections are not expected to be held soon as the Labour government has a clear majority in parliament.
