Description:

The prime minister has been heckled during a visit to Golders Green, the north London suburb where two Jewish men were stabbed on Wednesday.

Sir Keir Starmer was meeting leaders from the Shomrim security group and Hatzola, a Jewish medical charity, whose ambulances were set on fire in an arson attack last month.

The prime minister was joined by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and Sarah Sackman, a justice minister and the local MP.

On Thursday, the government announced it was increasing the money available for protecting Jewish communities by £25m, bringing the total to £58m.

The money will go towards increasing police presence and patrols in Jewish areas, placing specialist and plain-clothes officers in the Jewish community, and paying for protective security for synagogues, schools and community centres.
