4hago 14.05 BST 'We'll say it loud, say it clear, migrants and refugees welcome here, says Polanski Polanski turns to Labour. 44 The prime minister might call this an Island of strangers. When Farage says jump, Labour might say ‘how high’. But the Greens won’t dance to the tune of a Trump-loving, tax-avoiding, science-denying, NHS-dismantling corporate stooge. He is referring to Nigel Farage, of course. This gets the longest and loudest applause of the speech so far. Polanski tells members to stay on their feet, because they will want to applaud his next line. 44 We will say it loud, and we will say it clear, migrants and refugees are “welcome here”.

hago 14.02 8ST Polanski is now referring to the Manchester synagogue attack. 44 I'm one of five Jewish people to lead a British political party in the last 100 years. And that also means that I do want to spend a moment to mark yesterday’s awful attack. As a Jewish man raised in north Manchester - I feel this deeply and my heart is with the community. More widely I am the product of migration. It’s why defending migrants matters so much to me. It’s a common Jewish experience - a tale as old as time. Now my Jewish ancestry is confusing and muddled because we’ve always been on the run but from what I can gather together, they started in a Jewish town in Lativa - fled from Pogroms - to Ukraine - more pogroms - Poland - Nazis - to England where they faced their challenges from antisemitism. They changed their name to sound more English - and I changed it back, knowing that real pride comes from no longer hiding who you are. He is now talking about the co-deputy leaders of the party (elected on the same day he was elected). 44 Mothin [Ali], son of a steelworker, whose parents came from what is now Bangladesh in the 60s. Rachel [Millward] who, apart from a Danish great grandad and a Welsh Grandma, has family roots tied to England as far back as she knows. One brought up Jewish. One raised Muslim. One a child of the Church. A leadership with three different backstories, in a country enriched by people from all over the world.

The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, added her voice on Friday to calls to postpone the event, after police said they wanted to be able to focus their resources on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, said that continuing protests after the attack “will likely create further tensions and some might say lacks sensitivity”. The organisers, Defend Our Juries, said in a statement on Friday that supporters, including many Jewish people, wanted the protest to go ahead. It expected 1,500 people, including priests, vicars, pensioners and others, to take part in the event, which would involve them peacefully sitting holding cardboard signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.

"They could have stepped back and just given a community that has suffered deep loss just a day or two to process what has happened and to carry on with the grieving process," she said. "I think some humanity could have been shown." In response, Mr Polanski branded the home secretary's comments "deeply irresponsible". "I think ultimately conflating protests against the genocide in Gaza and ultimately weaponising that against an anti-Semitic attack on our streets, a terrorist attack, is deeply irresponsible," he told Sky News Breakfast. The Green Party leader said it was "worrying when governments are increasingly trying to crush down dissent" and using "what is a brutal attack... to try and make a point about protest". "We need statesmanship at this moment. We need responsibility," he added.

mago Protesters who heckled Lammy accuse government of 16:49, ‘rewarding terrorism’ Two of the protesters who heckled Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy at the vigil earlier have been speaking to Sky News in Manchester. They explained how the government's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood recently, despite the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel, had fuelled their decision to speak up. Eddie Edwards said: "This is a direct result of a government rewarding terrorism "Look at last night, why would people march only a few miles down the road?” he said, referring to pro-Palestinian protests that reportedly took place in Manchester yesterday. "The government are complicit in this - if you reward terrorism, you get terrorism,” he added

Counter-terrorism police are expected to investigate whether Shamie previously made death threats to John Howell, who was the Conservative MP for Henley until last year. He had received threatening emails in 2012 after he spoke about Israel's right to defend itself when it came under fire. One of those who made threats was a “Jihad Alshamie”, who told him: “It is people like you who deserve to die.”
