Starmer Pledges New Law After Wave of Synagogue Arson
Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Kenton United Synagogue Thursday, saying he is "increasingly concerned" about foreign states using criminal proxies for attacks in Britain. He pledged new legislation to tackle malign state actors following a string of arson attacks on Jewish sites since late March. A 17-year-old has already pleaded guilty to the Kenton United Synagogue arson.
