PM 'absolutely shocked' by attack as he pledges to ramp up police protection

MORE police are being deployed to synagogues across the country after the fatal Manchester attack, which was described by a rabbi as “every Jewish person's worst nightmare”.

Sir Keir Starmer said he was “absolutely shocked” by the incident and he confirmed “additional police assets” are being rolled out to synagogues.

The Prime Minister, who returned early from a summit in Copenhagen following the attack, vowed the UK Government will “do everything to keep our Jewish community safe”.

He said: "I am on my way back to London. When I arrive, I will chair an emergency Cobra meeting. I'm already able to say that additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe.”
