Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer delivered remarks from Downing Street on 30 April 2026 following a stabbing attack in Golders Green, where two men were stabbed in broad daylight because they were Jewish. The PM expressed his solidarity with Britain’s Jewish community, described the incident as part of a series of antisemitic attacks, and pledged to strengthen police presence and invest in Jewish security services. He announced plans to introduce tougher powers to shut down charities that promote antisemitic extremism, prevent hate preachers from entering the country, and fast‑track legislation against state‑sponsored threats. The speech also called for the public to unite against antisemitism and to uphold British values of tolerance and decency. The PM thanked first responders and highlighted the need for society and security measures to protect Jewish citizens.
