The government says there are plans for a new law but critics say it’s not enough. Watch and follow live below.Keir Starmer has been met with groups of protesters as he visits Golders Green after yesterday’s double stabbing.
Some of those gathered carry posters which say “Keir Starmer, Jew harmer”.
Chants saying the same can also be heard.
Shouts of “shame on you” also met the prime minister as he arrived.
The prime minister has been speaking today about the importance of standing with the Jewish community, saying it is not just their fight but also “our fight”, as his government also announced plans to tackle antisemitism.
Those plans include an extra £25m for more police measures to protect Jewish communities, as well as a proposed new law to target proxy groups. The government said it’s taking action to fill a “gap in the law” which could allow individuals directed by proxies, such as groups linked to Iran, to avoid justice.
But critics say these measures are “too little, too late” after a recent spate of attacks targeting the UK’s Jews.
